While the trestle bridge was originally built only for trams, a 2.25-foot (0.69 m) gangway was bolted to the tram sleepers for pedestrian access, providing a 100-yard (91 m) short-cut from the neighbouring bridge for motorists (which had only one footpath). However, the council pushed for a replacement due to safety concerns, after reports of pedestrians falling through the trestles and drowning. Construction started in 1964, with the present-day bridge built in place of the old tram bridge, one abutment at a time, to in order to maintain tram services during construction, and the road bridge demolished afterwards. The new bridge, with seven spans 478 feet (146 m) long, carrying a roadway 50 feet (15 m) between kerbs with two 7 feet (2.1 m) footpaths, opened in 1967. A vestigial road alignment leading to the former Raleigh Road bridge survives as Anglers Way, on the western side of the river just to the north of the current bridge.

Due to the increasing amount of pedestrian and bicycle traffic over the
