the suspension bridge over the Menai Strait between a
point near Bangor on the mainland and what was then the
village of Porthaethwy which is now also known as Menai Bridge on Anglesey. The design of the bridge had to
allow sailing ships 100 ft tall to pass under the deck at high water slack
tide.
Construction
of the bridge began in 1819 with the towers on either side of the strait. These
were constructed from Penmon limestone and were

Damaged by
winds in 1839, the road surface needed extensive repair, and in 1893 the entire
wooden surface was replaced with a steel deck. Over the years, the 4.5 ton

close the bridge. In 1999 the bridge was again closed for around a month to
resurface the road and strengthen the structure, requiring all traffic to cross

and, coincidentally on the same day one carriageway of the bridge was closed
for six months restricting traffic to a single carriageway so that traffic now travelled to the mainland in the morning and to Anglesey in
the afternoon.
The bridge
was finally re-opened to traffic in both directions on
