Measuring 13 metres in span (south-east to north-west) and 6 metres in width, it stands to 2 metres above the river and consists of two stone and mortar abuttments that were built using stone from the mills (49.1 and 49.2) to the south. The deck is concrete. This bridge was built within the span of local memory during the late 1960s or early 1970s." (Burgess 2004, 162)
