![View under the new concrete bridge which carries the Cambrian Coast line across the Afon Dwyryd. While the replacement does not have the character of the original timber trestle bridge [see image 50842], it does have a distinctive style, even if it is reminiscent of Wallace and Gromit's 'Wrong Trousers'.<br><br>[Colin McDonald //]](/images/52000/52906.jpg "Pont Briwet")

![The soon-to-be-demolished original Pont Briwet on 6th July with its replacement taking shape alongside. Work on the new bridge caused the 1860s wooden trestle bridge to become unstable in December 2013, following which the line was closed from Harlech to Pwllheli. It is expected to reopen by September 2014. [See image 46693]<br><br>[Colin McDonald 06/07/2014]](/images/48000/48008.jpg "Pont Briwet")
