Pont Y Werin Bridge completed

Spanning the distance between Cardiff Bay and Penarth - allowing pedestrians and cyclists a new link - the Pont Y Werin bridge will finally come together today as the fourth piece is lifted into place. The UK's largest crane has been used to lift the pieces from the Cardiff and Penarth banks of the river Ely, with each piece weighing between 38 and 46 tonnes. The bridge will open to the public in July. Here are some pictures from our Guardian Cardiff Flickr group pool of the bridge coming together. Funding from the new bridge has come from the Welsh Assembly Government, (£1.645m), Cardiff Council (£1.3m), sustainable transport charity Sustrans (£1.15m), Cardiff Harbour Authority (£250k) and £200k from The Vale of Glamorgan Council. Cardiff Council's executive for traffic and transport, councillor Delme Bowen, will walk across the completed bridge with Vale of Glamorgan councillor Jeff James. Bowen said: "Pont y Werin will make a huge difference to both communities and will complete the bay edge walkway."
