Due to corrosion of unprotected steel trough flooring and inadequacy to carry traffic over line of Caledonian Railway, bridge built in 1889, was reconstructed without dislocation of train services; reconstruction work consisted of removing old steelwork, taking down old wall or abutment for length of 380 ft and rebuilding it in concrete with sandstone facing, and providing new steel and concrete superstructure to carry regraded roadway.
