The village lies at the junction of the B826, B8028 and B825 roads and sits astride the River Avon (hence the name Avon-Bridge). The village sits just inside the council boundary line between Falkirk and West Lothian councils.

Avonbridge is the base of operations for Stevenson Brothers Haulage, whose bright orange heavy goods vehicles travel all over the UK.
