Apparently built by Main Contractor Mouchel, when digging the footings for the parapets, traces of the original (or earlier) Roman timber supports were found - in fact, a small plaque was made, using some of the timber (since lost). One of the people working on the site, Richard Fryer, studied through a correspondence course to qualify in civil engineering and his first job was the construction of the Cressage bridge.

Facilities were extremely basic; Fryer and his workmates camped out on the riverbank.

Labourers were brought in on the basis of a very bqasic pay, with 'as much beer as you can drink'.
