The first bridge in this location was opened free of pontage in May 1852.

In December 1884, a replacement bridge with a lattice structure was opened.

Moray Council stated that an inspection had found defective joints in the structure, which had been significantly weakened by HGVs using it illegally.

A replacement bridge, estimated to cost £7.1 million, was expected to be required by 2027-28, but in 2021 the council stated that this date had been brought forward by three years.
