It is a combined suspension footbridge[1] for pedestrians and cyclists, and aqueduct which crosses the River Trent, linking the town of West Bridgford to the Meadows, in the city of Nottingham, England.

[3] It should not be confused with the separate Wilford Toll Bridge.

There is no public right of way along the bridge, and so it can be closed by Severn Trent Water whenever it is deemed expedient to do so.

The plans were drawn up by Frank Beckett Lewis, the City Architect.

It was constructed by the Nottingham Corporation Water Department at a cost of £8,871 (equivalent to £1,110,000 in 2023),[4] with the principal purpose of carrying water to Wilford Hill reservoir.
