The former railway line is now the 'Rails to Trails' route, the Hudson Way.
"The Hudson Way is a 10 miles (16 km) walking and cycling route in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The route follows a disused railway line between the market towns of Market Weighton and Beverley.
The path follows the route of the York to Beverley Line that was opened in 1865 and later connected at Beverley Junction to the Hull to Scarborough Line to provide a direct route between York and Kingston upon Hull. The line closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching report. The route is named after George Hudson, the railway engineer who built the first part of the line between York and Market Weighton, before his downfall."

The path under the bridge has now been blocked, by tree branches, presumably by a farmer. However steps lead down from the Hudson Way next to the bridge and a public footpath from here leads to Malton Road, so although the path under the bridge is now blocked it is still possible to view the bridge from the level of the path.
