Menai Suspension Bridge. Screengrab from Google Streetview. Plans to install a series of crisis phones on a bridge linking Anglesey and the mainland have been submitted to council planners ahead of a separate six month maintenance project on the Grade I listed structure. Major works on the Menai Suspension Bridge are set to kick off in mid-January and last for almost six months, resulting in lane closures as well as the repainting of sections of the 1826-opened structure. Meanwhile, separate plans for the installation of eight phones both on and the approaches to the bridge, each offering a direct free of charge line to the Samaritans, have been submitted after the site was earmarked as part of the multi-agency North Wales Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention Strategic Plan.
