    Designed by eminent French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin and completed in 1906, this distinct structure was built to ferry people and horses across the River Usk to the Orb Steelworks on the East side. High-masted sails were still in operation at the time and continued to pass under the bridge comfortably.
