The bridge was built in the 1960s and opened to road traffic in 1965 when the section of the ring road between South Hinksey and Heyford Hill was opened.[3] It is a single arch structure,[4][citation needed] built of 5,000m² steel by British Constructional Steelwork Association for Oxfordshire County Council who are responsible for its maintenance.[1] The bridge required a full wet and dry blast and coating system to the steelwork in 2003 when it was also strengthened.[5]
