Just north of the Hagside level crossing at Warth, the line to Bury crosses the Irwell on what is known locally as the 'Monkey Bridge'. Metrolink 3131, a recent addition to the fleet, runs over the bridge heading for Piccadilly on 4th January 2023. Note the pedestrian tunnels on either side of the structure, which are linked by a footbridge that runs under the line on the far side.
