At a width of 70ft between parapets the bridge has been described as being 'so flat and wide that one can easily cross without noticing its existence'.
Completed in 1933, the bridge has four equal spans comprising a series of rivetted steel plate girders supporting a reinforced concrete bridge deck. Each of the piers divide at low level into arches which spring from deep foundations.
