Dolrhedyn (Fern Meadow) Road Bridge is an exceedingly low bridge for road traffic located just uphill of Tanygrisiau station. The steep road was for a long time the only road access to Dolrhedyn and Cwmorthin.
It was dismantled by the C.E.G.B. Contractors in 1957 to allow high vehicles (i.e. dust carts & fire engines) to get to Cwmorthin Terrace. Later an abutment was demolished by the local authority.
Following the completion of an alternative road to Cwmorthin from the Stwlan Dam Road, a new deck was laid in 1979 at no cost to the FR, under a previous agreement by the council. However, it was built a foot too high and consequently there is now a small 'hump' here in the railway gradient.
Prior to 1900 the Dolrhedyn road crossed the FR on the level.
