Built c1805 for the new line of the Porthdinllaen-Capel Curig turnpike road.
Large triple-span road bridge, approximately 20m long. Of rubble construction with wide segmental central arch and smaller segmental flanking arches; rough-dressed voussoirs recessed below archrings of narrow stones. On the upstream side are 2 low triangular cutwaters. The carriageway is humped to the centre and has slab-coped parapets, splayed at the approaches and terminating, at the southern end, in flat, shallow buttresses. At both ends the parapets adjoin low modern rubble walls.
Listed for its special interest as a good early C19 3-span road bridge.
