Bangor Bridge

The red sandstone bridge stretches across the River Dee with five elliptical stepped arches and incorporates full-height buttresses with pedestrian refuges.

The current structure dates from the late 15th century, with significant reconstruction work completed in 1658 under the suspected direction of architect Inigo Jones.

The bridge forms an architectural group with the Church of St Dunawd and the Bangor-on-Dee war memorial, representing centuries of Welsh transportation heritage.

Traffic flows in a single direction from west to east, with implemented weight restrictions and traffic lights managing vehicle movement across the structure.

Four buttresses with yellow sandstone parapets feature dedicated refuges at the top, providing safe spaces for pedestrians during bridge crossings.
