Description

The bridge consists of two side castings of slightly cambered plate 430mm x 50mm thick, with arched braces, spanning between a continuous cast iron bearing built into each vertical ashlar stone abutment, designed to take thermal movement. The deck is carried on two intermediate 'T'-beams, 30cm deep and slightly fish bellied, carrying approximately 350mm wide rebated iron planks, the total width being 3.13m. The outer frames and T-beams are spaced by two round section iron tie bars. The 3-bay handrails, now of steel rod on slender square stanchions with knop finials and believed to reproduce the original ladder design. The fish-bellied beams and iron planks are similar to those provided by the company for the Duffryn, Llynvi and Porthcawl Railway, (1825).
