Not to be confused with predecessor (Mill Road) Old Bridge (situated upstream, to the W), for which see NT53NE 40.
This bridge carries Melrose Road, which here forms the A68(T), across the Leader Water to the SW of Earlston (NT53NE 47). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Earlston (to the NE) and Melrose (to the SW).
The location assigned to this record defines the centre of the structure. The available map evidence suggests that it extends from NT c. 57211 38130 to NT c. 57224 38168.
