Cadw's description
Location
The bridge carries the minor road, by-passed by the A548, between Llangernyw and Llanrwst over the Afon Gallen, 2km S of Llangernyw village centre.
History
Probably late C18 or early C19.
Exterior
Road bridge, gently cambered, built of local stone rubble with single segmental arch springing from ground level capped with projecting regulating course. Spandrels rise to a projecting cambered string course at road level above which the parapets are coped with flush sandstone slabs, some recently renewed, linked with iron cramps. Wing walls terminate in square piers.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a wide single span bridge of a type erected in connection with improvements in rural communications in the late C18 and early C19.
