Description
Seven arch cut sandstone road bridge with mostly segmental, voussoired arches. On the downstream side the central and northern arches are more acutely pointed and the southernmost arch has been rebuilt with arch ring and keystone. Pointed cutwaters and ramped deck. There are two low flood arches at the Abergavenny end with a stepped abutment between; also an embanked causeway at both ends. The bridge has been widened on the upstream side and has more regularly shaped segmental arches with the cutwaters between stepped up beneath the rebuilt parapet. Also on this upstream side are corbelled brackets which once carried a railing of some kind.
The low parapets have a flat coping. On the downstream side it continues on Llanfoist bank up to the entrance to The Bridge End Inn and on the Abergavenny bank up to the gate to the riverside footpath. Upstream the parapet does not extend beyond the length of the bridge.
