Marsh Creep is railway bridge number 142 (engineer’s reference CBC1/142) on the Barrow-in-Furness to Whitehaven section of the Cumbrian Coast Line. Of 14’10” span, built on a slight skew and resting on brick and stone abutments, the deck is constructed of steel trough girders and floorplates.
The bridge was reconstructed by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1930, but the patterned design of the cast iron side girders indicates that they are of greater antiquity and they were possibly retained from the original Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway bridge.
The bridge deck is heavily corroded and this bridge looks to be a candidate for early replacement.
The Cumbria Coastal Way follows a public bridleway under the bridge.
