Its supporting walls are of massive snecked rough-faced stone, with an ashlar band, hollow-chamfered on its lower angle, immediately below the cast-iron superstructure. The superstructure of the bridge has a series of four rectangular panels on each face each with a raised border with inturned quadrants at the corners
