Description
The Accommodation Bridge over the former Duffryn Llynvi and Porthcawl Railway is constructed entirely of rock-faced local stone. It features a half-round arch that spans between battered retaining walls, creating a quasi-horseshoe shape. The arch is made of regularly sized rock-faced voussoirs, and the flush parapet has stone-on-edge copings positioned between slight end pilasters. The revetting walls are sloped steeply from the base of the parapet down to near ground level on each side. The decking of the bridge has been replaced with a concrete slab.
