History
The bridge, which was built for Westmorland County Council at a cost of £20,000, was a replacement for the medieval Devil's Bridge and was part of the Kirkby Lonsdale bypass scheme. 60 men worked on the scheme. The new bridge and bypass was opened on 3 December 1932. The bridge was opened by Oliver Stanley, Minister for Home Affairs and the bypass by Lady Bentinck of Underley Hall.
