Appeals in the press for the bridge to be retained and converted to a roadway came to no avail, and in March 1966 the iron girders were finally removed.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Beddoes & Smith (1995)]], p. 198.</ref> The brick abutments and piers still stand, and are visible from SVR trains between [[Northwood Halt]] and [[Bewdley]].
In March 2017 the Rotary Club of Bewdley announced their support for a project to reinstate a footbridge on the existing piers, providing a connection between [[National Cycle Route 45 ]] and the [[Wyre Forest]].<ref>[http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/page.php?PgID=628408&ClubID=1684 Bridging the River, Rotary Club of Bewdley] (retrieved 11 April 2017)</ref>
