Cardiff Bridge, Grade II listed bridge in Riverside, Cardiff, Wales
Cardiff Bridge is a structure spanning the River Taff in Riverside, featuring broad concrete arches supported by stone pillars with distinctive design. Bronze torch-holding obelisks sit prominently on each pier.
The current structure was built between 1930 and 1931, replacing multiple earlier bridges that had crossed at this location. Earlier crossings at this site date back to Roman times.
The bridge carries names in both English and Welsh, Cardiff Bridge and Pont Caerdydd, reflecting how the Welsh capital maintains its bilingual identity in everyday places.
The bridge features segregated cycle paths that keep cyclists safely separated from vehicle and pedestrian traffic. This makes crossing the river on two wheels straightforward and secure.
The structure was designated Grade II listed in 2002 for its importance as an early example of reinforced concrete bridge engineering. This recognition marks its significance in the development of modern construction techniques.
