Redbrook Incline Overbridge is a nineteenth-century railway bridge located in Wales, constructed as part of the transport infrastructure developments of the Industrial era. The structure was built to carry a railway line over an incline, reflecting the engineering solutions required to navigate the challenging topography of Welsh valleys during the period of railway expansion. The bridge represents the functional design typical of Victorian-era railway construction, with structural elements suited to supporting the weight and movement of rail traffic. As a scheduled monument under Cadw protection, it remains an important example of the transport heritage that characterised Wales's industrial development in the Post Medieval and Modern periods.
