The bridge carries its east-west road on a single segmental arch, meaning the arch forms a shallow, flattened curve rather than a full semicircle, a design well suited to spanning a moderate waterway without requiring an excessive rise in the road surface. The arch span measures roughly ten metres, and the voussoirs, the wedge-shaped stones that lock the arch together, are described as roughly dressed rather than finely cut, giving the structure a functional rather than ceremonial character. More refined craftsmanship appears lower down, where the bases of the piers are built from ashlar limestone, that is, stone cut into precise rectangular blocks and laid in regular courses. A string course, a narrow horizontal projecting band of stone, runs above the arch, and the parapet walls are finished with vertical stone coping along the top. Together these details suggest a builder who understood the grammar of bridge construction and applied it with care, even if the budget did not run to dressed stonework throughout.
