Description
Single-arched steel road bridge of 1958 carrying the former A55 trunk road (nprn 403728) over the Afon Conwy; faced with stone on the north side to harmonise with nearby Conwy Castle (nprn 121). The bridge was constructed to supersede Telford's adjacent suspension bridge of 1826 (nprn 43083) and has itself been superseded by a road tunnel (nprn 409064) under the estuary opened in 1991.
