Single-track road bridge over the River Wear leading to south-west arched gateway (q.v.) to Lambton Park. Probably C15; partly-rebuilt parapet. Dressed stone.
Circa 45-metre span. Both faces similar. 4 pointed arches of 2 chamfered orders; each arch on 5 chamfered ribs (some partly restored). Triangular-plan cutwaters between arches (3 on each face); cutwaters have multi-chamfered plinths, sloping tops and rise to parapet band. Slightly-projecting parapet has restored coping and splayed north end walls. Large abutment with offsets at north-west end.
This bridge straddles Chester-le-Street and the parish of Bournmoor.
