Single-arch masonry road bridge, erected c.1850, carrying the Ballycumber to Clara road over the River Brosna.
This simple single-arch bridge is enhanced by the use of different stone finishes in its construction. It was erected by the Board of Works as part of its Brosna drainage scheme. Ballycumber Bridge has the second widest arch span in County Offaly. The longest is at Banagher Bridge. Located on the main road to Clara and Tullamore, Ballycumber Bridge plays an important communications role, vital to the village of Ballycumber.
