Usk Bridge crosses the River Usk in the town of the same name, Usk. The bridge was built in 1750 and later widened in 1836. Similar to many other bridges across the Usk, a previous wooden crossing once stood on this site. It currently carries the A472, however prior to the 1970s it carried the A449 trunk route. The present A472 route runs from Usk to Abercynon.
