Caerleon Bridge, Road bridge in Caerleon, Wales
The stone bridge spans across the River Usk with three elliptical arches constructed from red sandstone and features distinctive projecting cutwaters on both sides.
David Edwards and his two sons, William and Thomas, constructed the bridge between 1806 and 1812 to replace an existing wooden structure.
The bridge stands as a Grade II listed structure, marking the southern entrance to Caerleon, a town known for its extensive Roman archaeological remains.
A steel and concrete footbridge added in 1974 provides separate pedestrian access, making it safer for people to cross while vehicles use the main structure.
The foundation stone from the original Newport Bridge remains embedded in the stonework, displaying an inscription about the Edwards family construction.
