Comments :

The stone is a rather dark rubble, the voussoirs dressed. It has two unequal spans (50 feet and 36 feet), small triangular cutwaters and battered abutments. It is humped with a 15 feet roadway. The spandrels are now held with staying rods which somewhat spoil the look of the bridge. [1]
