This and the one in Newbridge Fields are the last remaining Bailey Bridges in Bridgend, and it must be about the 20th set of new planks it's had over the years. It was originally the car park exit, and was quite a tight turn in a Triumph 2000 as I recall.
There was previously a cache on this bridge that was archived, and I liked the idea, so I am reviving it.
Only the occasional pedestrian ambles by, and you aren't overlooked, so you should be able to sign at leisure.
Out of interest the building opposite used to be part of Bridgend General Hospital, and the smart little building further towards the operational bridge is what used to be Bridgend's workhouse.

The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast. There is a stats listing, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk. https://www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk If you would like to add to the series, please contact us via the Little Bridges website with your caching name, name of your Little Bridge and the GC code and we will give you a number for your bridge. To qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches "Little Bridges # xxxx then the name" including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
