History

Probably late C18 road bridge. Merioneth was the last of the Welsh counties to have turnpike roads and it was at a county meeting in Dolgellau in 1775 that it was resolved to convert the principal tracks of the county into turnpikes, in partnership with Caernarfonshire. By the end of the C18 most of the existing roads had been brought under the Trust under the Merioneth Turnpike Act of 1777.

Exterior

Late C18 road bridge comprising 3 spans with elliptical arches of stone voussoirs; string course above arches and a low parapet wall with stone slab copings. Triangular cutwaters between the arches on either side of the bridge have raking tops.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as a little altered late C18 road bridge. Forms a group with the adjacent milestone and tollgate cottage at the N end of the village of Maentwrog.
