Description

Pont Dol-y-Bont is a bridge featuring a ring of rubble voussoirs that form a single segmental arch with a span of approximately 7.7 meters over the Afon Ceist. The voussoirs are set back under a regulating course, with flush spandrels and flat coped parapets that peak at the center. The arch rises 2.7 meters from water level, providing a carriageway that is 4.1 meters wide, in addition to parapets that are each 45 centimeters wide. The parapets slightly splay out at the ends, terminating in half piers. Notably, the northeast end of both parapets has been rebuilt.
