This is a where structures are both listed as buildings of special architectural or historic interest and scheduled as monuments of national importance. Where appropriate the 'dual designation' of structures is removed and they are listed or scheduled depending on their individual circumstances.

As a bridge in use, listing is the most appropriate designation to recognise the importance of this structure.
