The bridge was originally over a stretch of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway between Mickle Trafford near Chester in England and Dee Marsh in Wales.

The bridge allows access to a nearby farm and connects to Hermitage Road.

These days the railway is redundant and has been converted into a shared Greenway for cyclists and walkers. The Greenway is 8 miles long, but forms part of the much longer National Cycle Route 5 that connects Holyhead with Reading.
