Description

Pontypridd Bridge is a Grade I listed high-arched bridge, featuring a single span of 42.7 meters. Constructed from rubble stone, it has stone parapets with plain copings. At the top of the bridge, there is a renewed tablet that commemorates the efforts of William Edwards and the repair of the bridge in 1798 by Edward David and Thomas Evan. The bridge's distinct character is highlighted by three circular holes in the spandrels, measuring 2.7 meters, 1.8 meters, and 0.9 meters in diameter, arranged in ascending order. The deck has been updated with renewed concrete steps. The parapet on the south side is connected to the parapet of the nearby Victoria Bridge.
