The bridge crossed Y Cyt (The Cut), one of the principal drainage channels on the reclaimed Traeth Mawr, and is shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate survey and 1888 Ordnance Survey.

Exterior

A single-span flat-deck tramway bridge of coursed dressed Gest stone abutments, and segmental arch with freestone voussoirs. There is no parapet.
