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

At this point there is a single arch over the canal and tow path. Next to the navigation is the River Calder and the bridge has a further two arches to cross the River Calder.

These days the bridge 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.
