Historic Menai Suspension Bridge to undergo repairs
Engineering firm Spencer Group will this month begin work to replace footpath panels on one of the world’s most historic suspension bridges.
The team will carry out major works to remove, replace and then resurface almost all of the footway panels on the approach spans on both sides of the Grade I listed Menai Suspension Bridge, which crosses the Menai Strait between the island of Anglesey and mainland North Wales.
Spencer Group will work on behalf of client UK Highways A55 Ltd, with the project estimated to run for 23 weeks.
The crossing – which opened in 1826 – is the second oldest operational vehicular suspension bridge in the world. It was designed by prolific road, bridge and canal builder Thomas Telford, who became the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
