The bridge is now in the care of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty National Trust . It originally carried the A55 road . Built by Thomas Telford , the bridge is a suspensionbridge spanning the River Conwy next to Conwy Castle , a World Heritage Site . The bridge was completed in 1826 and replaced the ferry at the same point. Telford matched the bridge s supporting towers with the castle s turrets. It is in the same style as one of Telford s other bridges, the Menai SuspensionBridge crossing the Menai Strait. The Conwy bridge runs alongside the Conwy railway bridge wrought iron tubular railway bridge built by Robert Stephenson . Until Stephenson s bridge was built, Telford s bridge was the only crossing of the river, and therefore the only way to get to the ferry that leaves for Ireland.
