Tay Road Bridge Construction: Fife Access Road
Incredibly, this photograph was taken on 29 July 1966, just three weeks before the bridge opening. With the race on to get the work completed before the opening on 18 August, all hands are on deck, quite literally. Use of manpower is evident with the two men and wheel-barrow busy on the carriageway, while there’s a nod to technology with the crane perched on the old railway line.
