Train Crossing Dual Carriageway!
A most unusual view looking up the dual carriageway from the road bridge. The road is well under construction, but the railway line to Tayport is still intact and being used. The Newport-Tayport section of the railway closed on 22 May 1966, with passengers then being taken on to Tayport by bus. Following the closure the line here was dismantled to allow completion of the dual carriageway. The road bridge opened three months later in August 1966.
