Seven span road bridge across the River Deveron, situated near the mouth of the river. It was completed in 1779 to designs by John Smeaton, and was widened in 1881 by John Willet, engineer. It has dressed stone arch rings and rubble spandrels with occuli. The original arches have a smaller radius than those added during the widening. Both are segmental and those of 1881 lined with brick. The cutwaters rise to link with 1881 spandrels. The bridge has a coped parapet with later lamp standards. It replaced a previous bridge a little further downstream which was swept away in 1768. A number of mason marks have been recorded on the bridge.
