About

Chepstow Bridge (also known as the Old Wye Bridge) is the World's largest iron arch road bridge from the first 50 years (1780-1830) of iron and steel construction. The bridge was first opened on the 24th July 1816, and is an architectural marvel and feat of engineering that has stood the test of time. See the bridge for yourself in Chepstow and check out the fantastic views of the Lower Wye Valley and Chepstow Castle.

The Old Wye Bridge is currently closed to road traffic due to structural damage. It has now reopened to pedestrians (although will have to close for all when on days when temperatures exceed 30 degrees)

More information on the Old Wye Bridge structural issues (including more specific closures) can be found on the Monmouthshire County Council website - Old Wye Bridge Chepstow - Monmouthshire.
