Afon Glaslyn Rail bridge
South of Beddgelert, the railway makes the first of four major river crossings. This 75 foot Warren Truss Bridge, designed by John Sreeves and built by the Brunswick Ironworks in Caernarfon was installed over the Glaslyn in March 2006. Two near-identical bridges cross the Afon Nanmor (UB196) and Afon Dylif (UB199), and were replaced as part of the same contract.
As there are two major structures at Bryn y Felin, an over bridge and an underbridge, the road bridge is referred to as Bryn y Felin Road bridge that carries the A498 from Beddgelert towards Porthmadog
There is also a pedestrian level crossing, to the right on the picture below, that is referred to as Bryn y Felin crossing.
