Today the bridge is part of the Wye Valley Walk and makes a great crossing with views of the River Wye.

The bridge formed an important crossing for the railway before it disappeared into the tunnel under Coppett Hill. It was protected during the war with a Pill Box which still remaind underneath on the river bank.
