Wye Bridge, Monmouth, Road bridge in Monmouth, Wales.
The Wye Bridge spans 71 meters across the River Wye with five arched spans constructed from red and buff sandstone ashlar material.
The current stone structure replaced a medieval wooden bridge between 1615 and 1717, marking a significant upgrade in the crossing infrastructure.
During the Second World War, two pillboxes were installed at the southern end of the bridge as part of Western Command Stop Line Number 27.
The bridge carries the A466 road and connects directly to the A40 at its western end, serving as a primary transport link.
The bridge structure reveals original pointed arches beneath later segmental modifications, displaying architectural evolution through centuries.
