Cadw's description
Location
Situated to the E of the A 5104, at the rear of the Bridge Inn PH, where a former road, now track, crosses the River Alyn.
History
Probably late C18 bridge, possibly abandoned when the present path of the A 5104 was adopted.
Exterior
Single-carriageway, single-arch stone rubble bridge. Stepped arches to both sides with stone voussoirs; stone soffit. Rebuilt parapet to centre with cement-rendered red brick; rounded stone coping. At either end stone parapet walls curve outwards on downstream side.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as an unwidened and probably C18 bridge.
