Description

Neath River Bridge is a road bridge constructed from well-finished coursed rubble stone. It features dressed stone voussoirs that form three almost semicircular arches. The outer arches are nearly 11 meters wide, while the center arch spans over 15 meters. Pointed cutwaters are present on both sides of the bridge. Later additions include parapets with cement block coping and a 20th-century deck, which is walled at the northwest end and now supports a raised footbridge.
