Cardiff Bridge, Grade II listed bridge in Riverside, Cardiff, Wales
Cardiff Bridge spans the River Taff with broad concrete arches supported by stone pillars and features bronze torch-holding obelisks on each pier.
The current structure, built between 1930 and 1931, replaced multiple previous bridges at this location, with the first recorded crossing dating back to Roman times.
The bridge carries both English and Welsh names, Cardiff Bridge and Pont Caerdydd, reflecting the bilingual nature of the Welsh capital city.
Recent additions of segregated cycle paths on the bridge provide safer transportation routes for cyclists, separating them from vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
The structure received Grade II listed status in 2002 for its engineering significance as an early example of reinforced concrete bridge construction.
