The Cleddau Bridge (pronounced [ˈklɛðai], Welsh: Pont Cleddau) in Pembrokeshire, Wales, carries the A477 road over the River Cleddau between Neyland and Pembroke Dock.

Errors in the box girder design caused the collapse during construction in 1970. The bridge became operational during 1975. The bridge is managed by Pembrokeshire County Council.[1]
