Reconstruction of the Britannia Bridge, c.1971
The truss-arch structure of the Britannia Bridge is here being constructed. The original tubular girders are visible, and remained there until the rebuilding of the rail deck was completed in 1972. A road deck above was completed in 1980.
Possibly taken from the Menai Suspension Bridge, c.1971.
