Exterior

A bridge in clearly different masonry style to the others on the Vyrnwy perimeter road, with a deep-segmental span of about 9 m. Rusticated voussoirs of about 500 mm depth. The keystone is enlarged and has arris mouldings, and extends above the extrados and below the intrados. Uncoursed ashlar common masonry with a rough finish. Weepholes in the sides below the springing line. String course at base of parapet.

The carriageway is about 8 m wide between the parapets; the parapets are in smaller masonry but with a large coping. Terminal piers with conical copings.

Reasons for Listing
