Kidwelly Bridge/Pont Cydweli

Rubble stone two-arch bridge with early C20 coursed rock-faced rubble facing to both sides, stone voussoirs to segmental arches, string course and parapet. Parapet has tooled limestone coping and four raised piers, each with tooled limestone caps. Bridge is carried on a big centre pier with large cutwater both sides into which die the arches of the various bridge widenings. Cutwater projects slightly beyond face of final widening and is carried up to just below parapet coping. Underside of bridge shows clearly line of widening both sides. The original S arch is pointed and the N arch rounded, they die into the main part of the centre pier. The widening has been with segmental arches from the cutwater suggesting that possibly the original bridge had cutwaters carried up as pedestrian refuges.
