Concrete Overbridge opened in 2018 as a connection between the Old Station Road and the rest of the village of Gilwern passing over the Heads of the Valleys road. It was constructed during the A465 Section 2 project between Gilwern and Brynmawr.

The bridge is believed to be the widest spanning of its kind in the world, with 70 pre-cast units each weighing 28 tonnes and a total length of 52.84 metres. It spans 29.2 metres.
