Constructed as a light railway bridge in the 1870's for the Wireworks branch of the Monmouth and Wye Valley Railway. The Wireworks closed in 1901 but the bridge continued to carry a horse tramway until 1935 when it was finally closed and has been a footpath ever since.

It's currently being renovated. Delivery and installation of the steelwork is expected to commence in late January 2023, with completion of these steelworks scheduled for late February 2023.
