Redbrook Incline Overbridge is a nineteenth-century railway bridge located in Wales, constructed to carry the Monmouth Railway over the steep incline of the Redbrook Tramway. The structure dates from the industrial expansion period when tramways and railways were being integrated across South Wales to facilitate mineral extraction and transport. The bridge exemplifies the engineering solutions developed during this era to overcome topographical challenges in the region's expanding transport network. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents an important survival of Wales's industrial heritage and the infrastructure associated with nineteenth-century mineral and industrial development.
