The contracts for the bridge were awarded on 20 March 1962 for £495,695, and construction began on 16 July that year. The 6 miles bypass was to cost £3,250,000. It was opened on 27 July 1964, by Ernest Marples. The bridge was constructed by the Danish bridge-builder Christiani & Nielsen. Another Danish civil engineering company Bierrum built the nearby cooling towers, along the River Trent to the north.

The bridge crosses the River Trent in Winthorpe, Nottinghamshire, which is the third-longest river in England, at 185 miles. It is a reinforced-concrete bridge made out of nine box girders.
