The bridge itself carried the Brighouse to Halifax railway line for the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway. At this point it is crossing the Calder and Hebble Navigation and the River Calder.

The bridge has a single stone arch over the navigation and a double arch over the River Calder that runs parallel with the navigation.

These days it carries Northern Rail trains and the line is called the Caldervale Line because much of the route follows the River Calder valley. The train company’s franchise is due for renewal in April 2014.
Bridge Type: Arch
