The bridge was built in 1847 to the design of Thomas Penson, County Surveyor for Denbighshire, using John Morris as contractor. The project cost £344.
Built of local rubble stone. A single elliptical arch spanning approximately 10.8m, the soffit rising to c2.8m above water level, the arch formed by 50cm deep unshaped projecting rustic rubble voussoirs rising to a dropped keystone. The rock-faced spandrels extend up to a plat band and above, to a flush stone-coped parapet. The width of the bridge between parallel sides is 5.5m, providing a 4.6m width level carriageway between the parapets, which curve out at the ends to terminate in shallow piers on the outer face only.
Inclued as a fine mid C19 road bridge designed by the well-known county surveyor, and specialist in bridge design.
