The bridge was grade II* listed in 1987, and was formerly a scheduled ancient monument. It carries the B6480 road over the River Ribble, and the Ribble Way long-distance footpath passes its north end. The bridge is built of stone and consists of two elliptical arches. It has four ribs on the upstream side of each arch, chamfered at the base, and a cutwater, also on the upstream side.
