The Tamar Bridge
When it opened, in 1961, the Tamar Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the UK; it is 335 metres (1,099 ft) long. The bridge was initially built to carry a three-lane tidal flow road (reversible middle lane). In 1999-2001 it was widened by the addition of two cantilevered lanes, one on each side of the existing deck. It was the world's first suspension bridge to be widened using cantilevers, and the world's first suspension bridge to be widened and strengthened while remaining open to traffic.
