Britannia Bridge, Menai Strait
Britannia Bridge, Menai Strait
Opened in 1850 as a tubular railway bridge but seriously damaged by fire in 1970 and rebuilt in its present form with road deck (now the A55) above the railway (a train can be seen crossing). The Cadw listing states: it is listed as "one of the most audacious and exciting monuments of the great age of engineering where Britain was at the forefront of such innovatory developments. Included at Grade II, notwithstanding that the original design has been vitiated as a result of the fire."
