Heritage listing
Reason for designation: Included as a good C18 bridge, unusual for the period in that the arch takes an elliptical form. History: The bridge was probably built in the C18 to carry the road over the Afon Dulas into Powys. Exterior: Built of coursed slate stone. An elliptical arch of squared voussoirs, with flush spandrels and a low parapet, coped with flush cramped shale stone copings. A small square relief culvert passes through the E abutment. The carriageway is slightly humped and the parapet is correspondingly peaked. Location: The bridge carries the road E from the centre of Corris, over the Afon Dulas into Powys.
From Cadw under OGL v3.
