The bridge is Grade A listed building and was built somewhere between 1732-6, designed by Andrew Coats and Robert Paisley, carrying the road across to the church. There are three segmental arches with the middle arch wider than the side arches. The bridge looks to be rubble built with pointed buttresses on either side and a parapet with coping stones all of ashlar.
