Gelli-Isaf Tramroad Bridge is a bridge structure associated with the Abernant Tramroad, a Post Medieval transport infrastructure in Wales designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference GM411. The bridge dates from the Industrial period and represents the transportation networks developed to facilitate mineral extraction and coal distribution in south Wales during the nineteenth century. As part of the Abernant Tramroad system, it served to carry the tramway across difficult terrain, forming part of the wider industrial heritage of the Rhondda Valley region. The structure reflects the engineering practices of the tramroad era, a transitional period between purely horse-drawn haulage systems and mechanised rail transport.
