The historic pedestrian bridge off School Road was flattened and the new bridge structure craned into place while the line was closed to trains.
Network Rail engineers worked round-the-clock to complete the first part of the bridge renewal work.
The rest of the work is set to take around six months and while the bridge is shut to pedestrians a temporary footbridge has been put in place for villagers to use.
