Comments :
It is a lovely, single-span, stone bridge perfectly suited to its mountain surroundings and echoing the simple lines of their lower slopes. It has narrow voussoirs, a string course and a darker edging to the parapet-details which emphasise the slenderness of the bridge and its considerable hump. [1] Width between parapets 4.6m.
