Description
Pont Dolbenmaen is a bridge built of local stone rubble. It features a segmental arch made with squared rubble voussoirs, which includes a regulating course and flush spandrels. At the base of the parapet, there is a slightly cambered projecting string course made with smaller stones and capped with slabs. The parapet extends outward at the ends, terminating in square piers. The bridge spans approximately 12 meters and rises 3.5 meters above the water, providing a carriageway width of 4.75 meters with flush parapets that are 0.5 meters wide.
