The current bridge is a suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark and built from 1829 to 1832, and was a prototype for the nearly identical but larger Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the River Danube in Budapest.

The bridge now has a weight restriction on it, and is used only by foot and local road traffic. Its place in the national road network has been taken by the busy modern Marlow By-pass Bridge.
