Description
The Caerleon Bridge is a road bridge dating to the 18th century, constructed of coursed squared near ashlar red sandstone with dressed freestone to the arches. It incorporates an attached steel and concrete footbridge. The bridge features three elliptical arches with projecting cutwaters on both faces. The downstream face remains unaltered, featuring a small strip pilaster on either side of the central arch. The upstream face has had the cutwaters built up to support the footbridge, which is otherwise separate from the main bridge structure. The parapets of the main bridge are slightly recessed and have a stone coping. The footbridge is supported by steel girders and has plain railings.
