It carries the Oxford Ring Road, part of the A423 road, across the Thames on the reach between Sandford Lock and Iffley Lock.
The bridge was built in the 1960s and opened to road traffic in 1965 when the section of the ring road between South Hinksey and Heyford Hill was opened.<ref>{{Citation | last = | first = | contribution = Ring Road | year = 1988 | title = Encyclopaedia of Oxford | editor-last = Hibbert | editor-first = Christopher | editor-link = Christopher Hibbert | volume = | page = 360 | place = | publisher = | id = | isbn = 0-333-39917-X}}</ref> It is a single arch structure,<ref>[http://en.structurae.de/structures/data/index.cfm?id=s0011333 Structurae database Isis Bridge]</ref> built of 5,000m² steel by British Constructional Steelwork Association for Oxfordshire County Council who are responsible for its maintenance.<ref name=OCC/> The bridge required a full wet and dry blast and coating system to the steelwork in 2003 when it was also strengthened.<ref>[https://thames.me.uk/s01600.htm Where the Thames Smooth Waters Glide]</ref>
