Probably designed by John Smeaton engineer, 1756. Inscription
panel "This Bridge was built by William Douglas Mason,
Crechan, 1761": roadbridge, 3 segmental arches over River
Nith, with roadway sloping down towards south bank: widened
with iron girders 1920 (dated). Built of red rubble with
ashlar voussoirs, cutwaters carried upwards presumably
originally as pedestrian refuges: splayed abutments and
approaches.
Category C(S) only because of altered condition.
In 1756, "Mr Smeaton, Ingeneer" made a plan for a bridge at
Kirkconnel Kirk. John Smeaton submitted a report on the River
Lochar 21.9.1754; while in Dumfriesshire he was evidently
able to provide designs for other works (see NRA(S) 1275
bundle 1509).
