Description

This road bridge, built over a disused railway cutting in the center of Wern, is constructed from pink sandstone with rock-faced and snecked stonework. It features a segmental arch made up of five courses of red brick, with diagonal courses of brickwork on the underside of the bridge. The structure includes two ramped stone buttresses, an impost band, and a band course at the base of the parapet. The end piers are stepped out and topped with dressed pitched coping stones, while the parapet is finished with dressed stone copings.

The bridge is adjacent to a canal aqueduct that was built at the same time, and the masonry revetment walls of the cutting continue in an unbroken line, culminating in long raking abutments.
