It features a semi-elliptical arch made of voussoirs, constructed from squared, faced, and coursed local sandstone. The bridge has a parapet with slab coping and curving abutments. The bridge number is displayed on the south face of the arch. A towpath runs beneath the bridge arch on the east side. Additionally, there is a sign at the east end of the bridge from the London and North Western Railway stating "No locomotives."
