This bridge over the Afon Cwmorthin is just a few yards on the Porthmadog side of Tanygrisiau Station. Effectively the final part of the Deviation, work on the bridge started at Easter 1976 and it was only a matter of weeks before the abutments were cast, the 3 concrete beams (55' long and 3' high) arriving on lorries on 27th July.
