One of three swing-bridges constructed over the Western branch of the Montgomeryshire Canal in the later C19. As there are also bridges of this type on the Eastern branch, they must post date the purchase of the canal by the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company in 1850.
Slightly arched iron girder swing-bridge. The beams have an inverted T-section and support simple iron railings consisting of widely-spaced posts and a handrail. The bridge would have turned from the W side, as the curved moveable end (also iron faced) is visible to the E.
A significant element in the later phase of structures associated with the Montgomeryshire Canal. One of three such swing-bridges on the Western branch.
