The railroad bridge is a girder bridge and stands next to a brick arch bridge that carries the towpath from one side of the canal to the other.
The bridge was built in 1848 and these days carries two services - The Crewe to Derby Line which is also a community rail line known as the North Staffordshire line and the Manchester branch of the West Coast Main Line.
