Cadw's description
Location
Spanning the Afon Conwy at the SE border of the community immediately N of the A5 and carrying the metalled drive to Voelas.
History
Imposing triple-arched road bridge apparently built in 1788.
Exterior
Approximately 30m long with 5m wide flat carriageway. Rubble construction with natural rock foundations, forming irregular cutwaters to both up-and downstream sides. Segmental arches, that to the centre wider and higher than those flanking; roughly-dressed voussoirs with archrings and flat, dividing pilasters. Plain stringcourse below slab-coped parapets, with splayed northern approaches and square, coped terminating piers.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine example of a late C18 vernacular 3-span bridge.
