This girder bridge carries four, 36-inch cast-iron pipes over the Pow Burn, between masonry abutments. The four pipes are the Craigmaddie Mains C1, C2, C3 and C4. There is a plaque attributing the bridge to 'William Baird Temple Iron Works Glasgow'. The Temple Ironworks was located at Crow Road, Glasgow and specialised in structural iron and steel work.
