Heritage listing
Reason for designation: Included as a substantial double-span road bridge of C18 origin. History: Built in the C18, repaired or largely rebuilt by David Jones, stonemason, and Richard Roberts, a carpenter, in 1797-8 at the cost of 103, and again altered in the C20. Exterior: Built of local rubble stone. Two segmental shallow arches spanning on to one large water pier, each arch consisting of 50cm radial voussoirs set back under a projecting regulating course, flush spandrels and 50 cm parapet, rising to a flush set horozontal slab coping. The water pier is pointed upstream and has 3 upper rounded set-backs, all rendered as is the soffit of the bridge. The water pier is extended as a tail between concrete walls. The arches reach a height of 2.75m above the water and each spans 4.9m, carrying a carriageway of 4.58m. There is a small refuge in the W parapet. Location: The bridge is at the E end of the community, carrying the main road from Llanegryn to Abergynolwen and Llanfihangel-y-pennant across the Afon Dysynni.
