Pont y Werin bridge
THIS week’s From the Archive section looks at the Pont y Werin bridge, Penarth Marina under construction in the summer of 2009. The bridge, which was under construction for around a year and finally opened in July 2010, is 140m in length and spans the river Ely. It was named after a competition was launched prior to its opening, Pont y Werin translates as “The Peoples Bridge”.
