Gelli-Isaf Tramroad Bridge is a stone bridge forming part of the Abernant Tramroad system in Wales, dating to the early nineteenth century. The structure reflects the period of intensive industrial development in South Wales, when tramroads were constructed to transport coal and other minerals from inland mines to canal and river routes for onward distribution. The bridge demonstrates the engineering solutions employed during this era to accommodate the passage of laden tramway trucks across difficult terrain. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, it represents an important surviving example of early industrial transport infrastructure in the Welsh coalfield.
