Description

Lower Eirw Bridge is a single span road bridge built with bow girder construction. It features two painted curved metal parapets with uprights and diagonal braces on either side of the road. Each side has a footpath with latticework parapets topped with pyramidal caps and billet mouldings on the uprights. The end piers are made of channelled concrete and have moulded shallow pyramidal caps over billet moulding, with a cast inscription on each end pier topped by a decorative shaft. Underneath, the metal supports terminate in scrolled corbels on the upstream side. The rockfaced stone abutments show signs of widening, and the footings of the cutwaters from the previous bridge are visible.
