 The Old Bridge is now a scheduled monument and is also depicted in two emblems of local rugby union teams ; Pontypridd RFC and Cilfynydd RFC . Artist Lulu Quinn was commissioned by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to illuminate the Old Bridge as part of a regeneration programme for Pontypridd called the Monument Illumination Scheme . Initial tests to illuminate the bridge took place on 19 August 2008 , and the project has subsequently been officially launched after the tests were successful .
