Details Bridge depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps and site of an earlier bridge. In 1810 the firm of Leys, Masson and Company aimed to make access to its Grandholm works easier by constructing a wooden bridge over the Don, with a small lodge. The bridge became known locally as the 'White Bridge'. It was replaced in 1922 by the present steel bridge, built for Crombie's by the Motherwell Bridge Company. After World War II a bailey bridge for pedestrians (NJ90NW0331) was placed a few hundred yards downstream near to the former works' gate. In 2002 the road bridge was closed to all drivers apart from Grandholm residents.
