In 2002, Railtrack became aware of a crack in one of the outer iron spans of the bridge. Restrictions on rail traffic passing over the bridge were put in place, including a 25 miles per hour (40 kilometres per hour) speed restriction for freight trains and a ban on two freight trains passing each other on the bridge. In 2010, Network Rail applied for a Listed Building Consent to replace the bridge with a modern structure. The request was turned down the following year and a subsequent appeal was dismissed.[3]
In November 2022, Network Rail applied again for permission to rebuild and modify the bridge.[3]
Work to rebuild the bridge began in January 2023.[1]
