History
The bridge is a concrete arch bridge, which forms part of the Haltwhistle A69 bypass and was completed in 1997.[1] The creation of the bypass allowed the road through Haltwhistle to be detrunked shortly thereafter.[2]
As well as carrying the A69 road, the bridge has an additional third lane (separated by a concrete safety barrier) to link adjoining minor roads and carry a footpath.[1]
