Description

Reinforced concrete arches on rusticated stone piers and with Portland stone balustrades and decoration. Four elliptically faced arches with projecting cutwaters rising as piers to support a deep cornice and an open balustrade with five panels to each arch. Above each pier is a square obelisk of Cenotaph type, these once carried bronze flambeaux. Cast bronze inscription at the west end, 'Cardiff Bridge opened 1931. George Whitaker City Engineer. J. M. Beresford Contractor'. The soffit of each arch is ribbed reinforced concrete above the stonework. This latter shows clear evidence of widening from the original of 1859. This bridge is also in Castle Community.
