It forms part of the A6006 which is strategically important in terms of transport infrastructure, the strategic road network, and the regional economy. It links Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire by crossing the River Soar between the villages of Hathern in Charnwood, and Zouch in the Rushcliffe Borough. The Council is currently considering both replacement and refurbishment option for the bridge.
