West Exe Bridge carried the Exe Valley branch of the Great Western Railway Tiverton to Exeter line. It was approached through a cutting from the Tiverton side, passing under St Andrew Street. The line continued on an embankment with a separate bridge over the mill stream serving West Exe Mill. It was a four-arched stone and brick structure under construction in 1881, however that section of the line was not opened until 1885.
