The Steel Truss bridge portion, of Swansea's Slip bridge built in 1915 has new lease of life, as cyclists, pedestrians and the land train will travel between the spans of the bridge
Its new home opposite the Recreation Ground car park, on Mumbles Road, Brynmill, means that the bridge will remain as a prominent and striking feature of Swansea Bay.
The famous bridge which once spanned Oystermouth Road & Mumbles Railway, was removed in 2005 following concerns for the condition of the structure.
The huge stone plinths, double step structure remains in place, empty, and are now deralict, and dangerous.
