There was originally a railway bridge here which carried the stretch of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway between Mickle Trafford near Chester in England and Dee Marsh in Wales.
This line has now closed to rail traffic and converted to the 'rails-to-trails' route the Chester Millennium Greenway and forms part of the National Cycle Route 5 that connects Holyhead with Reading.
When the A494 was upgraded and widened this bridge was built to accommodate the wider gap. At this point the A494 has 3 running lanes and a hard shoulder in each direction. In addition there is a slip road running parallel on each side of the highway separated by barriers so in effect the bridge is crossing 12 lanes of road.
