Barmouth Bridge Restored After Four-Year Project
Permissive route for motorcycles across the Mawddach river estuary
A 30m restoration of Britain's longest wooden railway bridge has been completed
The Barmouth Viaduct in North Wales has been restored after a four-year project. The 820m long bridge is now open to walkers, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
The bridge was built in 1867 and is the longest wooden railway bridge in Britain. It was closed in 2015 for restoration work, which included replacing the deck and strengthening the structure.
The viaduct is now open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction. It is also a popular route for motorcyclists, who can ride across the bridge for free.
The bridge is a narrow and winding, but it is possible to ride across it on a motorcycle. However, riders should be aware of the potential hazards, such as pedestrians and cyclists.
