The bridge formerly carried the A497 road over the Afon Rhyd-hir. It has a three-span structure and is Grade II listed.[1]
On 27 January 2019, the bridge partially collapsed.[2] A temporary single-lane bridge was subsequently installed parallel to Pont Bodfel.[3] A new bridge, Pont Bodefail, was constructed parallel to Pont Bodfel to carry road traffic and Pont Bodfel was reopened for use by pedestrians and cyclists.[4]
