Dulas Bridge spans Dulas Brook, a tributary of the River Wye in Hay-on-Wye, Powys, Wales.{{sfn|Poole|1886|p=212}}
The Dulas bridge, near Hay station, was a joint counties bridge—Brecknock and Radnor. Those counties refused to widen the bridge to correspond with the improvements of the local board, and the chairman of the local board (F. R. Trumper) undertook and succeeded in raising the money for doing the work by public subscription. The rebuild was completed in 1884.{{sfn|Poole|1886|p=212}}{{cite web|title=Historic Landscape Characterisation - The Middle Wye Valley - Transport and Communication Landscapes|url=http://www.cpat.org.uk/projects/longer/histland/midwye/mwtransp.htm|publisher=The Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust|access-date=1 May 2016}}
In 1839, the Dulas Bridge was described as having one arch.{{sfn|Clark|1839|p=94}}
