The low clearance makes the bridge subject to strikes by road vehicles, a notable example being in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1990-1999#1994 | April 1994]] when a skip lorry demolished the west-side walkway and moved the main girders two feet out of alignment!
The bridge was used as a filming location in the 1977 Walt Disney Productions live action film [[Candleshoe]].
