NEWPORT'S City Bridge won recognition at prestigious construction industry awards.
Built as part of the Southern Distributor Road development, the 200m-long bow string arch bridge has been recognised by The Structural Steel Design Awards 2005.
The awards celebrate design, construction efficiency and client satisfaction in the area of steel construction. The judges said of the bridge: "The Usk crossing symbolises the best in British bridge engineering. It combines an elegant design, high quality fabrication and innovative construction.
"Newport has gained not only another much needed river crossing, but has gained an elegant steel structure in the process."
