bri - Bont Briwet Newydd

This pair of modern concrete viaducts, carrying road & rail routes across the Afon Dwyryd.
Which replaced a grade II listed wooden viaduct, which was demolished in 2013 [after it was rumoured that proposals to keep the road section for pedestrians / cyclists had been accepted].

during construction work, there were incidents of scouring to the river bed, and partly as a result of that erosion, pylons had to be demolished.

Bont Briwet translates as Private Bridge, and refers to it being subject to a toll, which was 40p/day/car up to closure in 2013
