A minor road passes under the bridge carrying the single-track Maesteg Line railway. The nameboards on the bridge show THIS BRIDGE IS COEDTREHEN Mileage 3m 45c E.L.R. - BAL This was the only location in Coytrahen where I saw the spelling Coedtrehen which looks like a Welsh language name for the village, perhaps the prevalent spelling in the 19th century when this bridge was installed.
