Description

The structure consists of retaining arches and railings at the southern end. It features a rubble stone arcade that supports the roadway, with rubble piers and arches made of stone voussoirs. There are five visible arches, although the right end is heavily overgrown. Above a bull-nosed string-course made of concrete, there are added railings. Limestone corbels support wrought iron elements and a limestone chamfered plinth. The cast-iron railings are designed with a pattern of intersected circles and rectangles, ending in half-round shapes.
