Evaluation
A former stone road-over-river bridge located the centre of Banbridge, carrying Bridge Street over the River Bann. The arch and abutments are intact but the carriageway has been replaced with a modern concrete deck, obscuring the original structure and significantly compromising its significance. It is not of sufficient merit to warrant a full survey.
