The bridge consists of two widely-spaced arches, carrying the original main road to Milton over the stream and the mill-leat. The interval of causeway between the arches is about 10 m in length and the span of the arches is about 4 m. The arches are of elliptical form. Dressed limestone voussoirs. The remainder of the masonry in limestone rubble. The carriageway is about 4.8 m wide between parapets. Each parapet has a flat coping.
