What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1820, over Lavally River. Coursed rusticated limestone walls and parapets with rock-faced coping stones nad string course, rusticated voussoirs to segmental arch and rusticated projecting terminating piers. Snecked dressed limestone abutments and soffit. Bridge widened to west in concrete, although string course and parapets replaced to new west elevation.
This bridge, taking traffic over the Lavally River, is noted for the good quality of its limestone walling. Its widening in concrete testifies to its importance for the region's infrastructure. The cut limestone parapet walls contrast pleasingly with the roughness of the rubble coping stones, adding interest to the roadscape.
