Pont ar Ddyfi at Machynlleth
The Dyfi Bridge, also known as the Machynlleth Bridge, Dovey Bridge, Pont Dyfi or Pont ar Dyfi, is a road bridge carrying the A487 road across the River Dyfi north of Machynlleth, Powys, Wales. It is described as "one of the finest bridges in Montgomeryshire" by the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust.
The bridge was initially a timber bridge, built in 1533 using £6 13s 4d (10 marks) given by London merchant Geoffry Hughes. It was rebuilt in stone in 1681 and rebuilt again in 1805. The bridge is a scheduled monument and received a Grade II* heritage listing in 1952.
The present day bridge carries the A487 road across the River Dyfi between Machynlleth (Montgomeryshire/Powys) and the Corris community (Merionethshire/Gwynedd). At 5.5 metres in width and 64 metres in length, the bridge has five arches, with the two arches at the Machynlleth end reinforced with modern steelwork
