Description

The New Road Overbridge is a railway bridge featuring a single span and a skewed design. It is made from coursed and squared sandstone, with carefully shaped voussoirs. The parapet consists of uneven courses that are built on a continuous cornice. The bridge has plain sloping wingwalls on both sides, with coping that continues with the parapet cornice.
