Wye Bridge (partly in Builth Wells)

Wye Bridge, partly located in Builth Wells, is a double-carriageway bridge made of coursed rubble stone, featuring six spans that ramp towards the center. On the upstream side, there are pointed stepped cutwaters, while the downstream side has similar but V-shaped cutwaters. The arches are segmental, becoming progressively narrower and lower towards the banks, and each arch has a prominent keystone. The underside of the bridge shows a butt joint that indicates two phases of construction. A raised band runs beneath the parapet, which was rebuilt on the west side in 1879. Each face of the bridge has a central cutwater that rises to full height, creating refuges on the parapet.

On the west side, there is a stone tablet that reads: "The bridge was erected at the expense of the counties of Brecon and Radnor by James Parry of Hay in 1779. The original stone after serving its purpose for a hundred years became completely decayed and this stone was put in its place by the inhabitants of Builth in 1879. This bridge was widened and strengthened by the above counties in 1925. Engineers W Lewis Harpur Brecon, TW Wishlade Radnor. Contractor Hybart Broadhead & Co of London."
