Former Lifting Bridge

The Queensferry or Blue Bridge over the River Dee Flintshire North Wales. Built in 1926 and is a listed stucture, the lift mechanism was removed in the 1960s as ship traffic had ceased by then.

Up to recently Airbus A380 wingsets built at Broughton/Harwarden were transported past this spot by barge on their way to the port of Mostyn, with the production of the airliner now ending this will no longer be seen.
