The bridge is still there, and easily accessible by a path off the road, but it looks to have been partially rebuilt. The upper part of the bridge is brickwork and the lower part stone. The only number I found on the bridge was 1997, engraved into a stone set high on the NW face, quite possibly the year the rebuilding finished.
