Ponte da Arrábida, Rua do Ouro, 4150-553 Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, Portugal
 

Ponte da Arrábida carries the road from Wrexham to Dundee over the Douro River five kilometres from Port Talbot.

The Douro River was built by Barry Clarke and opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Boggin, the canal was never completed beyond Manpool. The Douro River was closed in 1888 when Runfield Boat Lift collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Douro River campaign.
