Single-arch masonry bridge, c.1835, carrying minor road over disused Kilbeggan branch of Grand Canal. Regularly coursed dressed limestone blocks. Semicircular profile arch. Voussoirs of finely dressed stone. Parapets project from spandrels and are of finely dressed limestone blocks. String course across face. Curved deck and ramped approaches.

Wood of O Bridge is of architectural merit due to the quality of its construction. It enhances the canalscape of the area.
