Heritage listing
Reason for designation: An excellent example of an early C18 masonry bridge, one of a series of important early bridges across the Rivers Alwen and Dee. History: A stone dated 1704 has been recorded, a date which appears to be consistent with the present structure, though it almost certainly represents the reconstruction of an earlier bridge at the site. Exterior: Roughly coursed and squared stonework, the river is spanned by 4 main arches, with an additional lower arch to the S, and very low side arches at either end (that to N dry). The segmental arches have roughly shaped voussoirs and rough projecting hood moulds. Cutwaters between the principal arches. Parapet formed from a smaller grade of stone, with rough flat copings. A long retaining wall with stacked stone copings supports the road bed on the SW side. Location: Carries the main A5 road over the River Dee 1km approx. west of the town centre.
From Cadw under OGL v3.
