Pont Bodfel is a bridge between the villages of Boduan and Efailnewydd in Wales.
The bridge carries the A497 road over the Afon Rhyd-hir. It is a single-span concrete arch bridge clad with locally sourced masonry.[1] It runs parallel to Pont Bodfel which was damaged in a storm in 2019 and subsequently repaired and reopened as a pedestrian and cyclist crossing.[2]
Construction[edit]
Planning permission for the bridge was granted in 2021. Construction began in April 2022.[1] It was opened in April 2023.[3][2]
