Description

Usk Bridge, also known as Abergavenny Bridge, is a Grade II* listed seven-arch road bridge built from cut sandstone. The bridge features mostly segmental, voussoired arches, with the central and northern arches on the downstream side being more acutely pointed. The southernmost arch has been rebuilt, complete with an arch ring and keystone. It has pointed cutwaters and a ramped deck. At the Abergavenny end, there are two low flood arches with a stepped abutment in between, as well as an embanked causeway at both ends.

The bridge has been widened on the upstream side, which now includes more regularly shaped segmental arches with cutwaters that are stepped up beneath the rebuilt parapet. Corbelled brackets on this side once supported a railing. The low parapets have a flat coping and extend along the Llanfoist bank to the entrance of The Bridge End Inn, and on the Abergavenny bank to the gate leading to the riverside footpath. However, the parapet does not extend beyond the length of the bridge on the upstream side.
