Conwy SuspensionBridge , was one of the first road suspensionbridge s in the world. Located in the medieval town of Conwy in Conwy county borough , North Wales , it is now only passable on foot. The bridge is now in the care of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty National Trust . It originally carried the A55 road . Built by Thomas Telford , the bridge is a suspensionbridge spanning the River Conwy next to Conwy Castle , a World Heritage Site . The bridge was completed in 1826 and replaced the ferry at the same point. Telford matched the bridge s supporting towers with the castle s turrets. It is in the same style as one of Telford s other bridges, the Menai SuspensionBridge crossing the Menai Strait. The Conwy bridge runs alongside the Conwy railway bridge wrought iron tubular railway bridge built by Robert Stephenson . Until Stephenson s bridge was built, Telford s bridge was the only crossing of the river, and therefore the only way to get to the ferry that leaves for Ireland. Built into the rock on which Conwy Castle stands, it is very close to the castle and very small only about 2 metres across . Part of the castle had to be demolished during construction in order for the suspension cables to be anchored into the rock.
