This footbridge (Bridge 37) connects [[Bridgnorth|Bridgnorth Station's]] Platforms 1 and 2. Although both platforms were present at opening on 1 February 1862, the footbridge was added later, its construction being authorised by the GWR on 12 May 1887.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 104.</ref>
The footbridge last underwent a major refurbishment in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2004 | 2004]], when it was taken down on 12 February using the [[Cowans Sheldon 30-ton steam crane RS 1087|30-ton steam Cranecrane]] and taken away to Dudley for renovation<ref>SVR News 146, pp 4, 51</ref> including shot blasting and powder coating, supported by funds from the SVR's arrangement with the [[West Bromwich Building Society]]. A plaque on Platform 2 celebrates the re-opening on 18 May 2004.
In February 2017 the station master appealed for volunteers to repaint the bridge.
