description
Canongate Bridge is a 16th century stone arch bridge that crosses Jed Water in central Jedburgh. The masonry viaduct made of cream-colored sandstone spans the river with three segmental arches , one of which runs over land. The roadway is up to three meters wide. From the time when the Canongate Bridge was still used as a road bridge, pedestrian bays have been preserved above the pointed icebreakers . Today the bridge is closed to motorized traffic. Once there was a gatehouse in its center, which has since been demolished.
