Tay Road Bridge Construction: Fife Dual Carriageway
Taken in June 1966, just two months before the bridge is due to open, this photograph shows a massive amount of work still to be done. This is the point where the railway line between Newport and Tayport was breached to allow construction of the new road. The closure of the line to Tayport in May 1966 allowed this work to be carried out. The line of the railway can still be seen in the top right of the photograph. On both sides of the railway ‘gap’, the new road looks well progressed.
