The bridge carries the B4601 across the River Usk.
A plaque on a house wall adjacent to the eastern end of the bridge records that the present bridge was built in 1563 to replace a medieval bridge destroyed by floods in 1535.
It was repaired in 1772 and widened in 1794 by Thomas Edwards, the son of William Edwards of Eglwysilan.
It had stone parapets until the 1970s when the present deck was superimposed on the old structure.
The bridge was painted by J.M.W. Turner c.1769.
