Menai Suspension Bridge Video, Anglesey
We hope you enjoy this video clip of the Menai Suspension Bridge across the Menai Straits on Anglesey.
In July 2007 the people of Anglesey celebrate the 250th anniversary of Thomas Telford, who built this famous road crossing to the island.
There are a number of celebrations going on in North Wales to commemorate this feat and the 250th anniversary of the great man. The local community of Menai Bridge is holding a number of events to mark this important milestone.

Looking south west from the bridge and down from the walkway you can see how the strong tidal waters of the Menai Straits flow down towards the Britannia Bridge and then on to the Caernarfon bar and the open sea.
On the Anglesey Coastal path to the south is the old Indefatigable School just beyond the Britannia Bridge road and rail crossing.
It was only about 18 months ago that contractors renewed the paintwork on the iron railings and massive chain supports, which inevitably are vulmerable to weathering over time. We remember crossing the bridge with sections sealed off while the workers sandblasted the metal before applying new coats of paint. So it is fitting that the bridge is in good shape to welcome in the 250th annivaersary of Thomas Telford.
