Cadw's description
Location
Situated some 200m S of the A40, carrying the road to Llanfrynach across the river Usk.
History
Late C18 road bridge over the Usk.
Exterior
Road bridge over the river Usk. Rubble stone, four elliptical recessed arches with stone voussoirs separated by full-height cutwaters with pedestrian refuges. The S arch is lower than the other three. The cutwaters are slightly stepped, in three tiers with the bottom tier in squared stonework. Over the crown of each arch is a square drainage hole from the roadway.
Reason for designation
Graded II* for its exceptional interest as a particularly well designed road bridge over the Usk.
