Pont Y Ddraig (Dragons Bridge)

            Pont Y Ddraig (Dragons Bridge)

Pont Y Ddraig was opened in October 2013 to provide a traffic-free route between the counties of Denbighshire and Conwy. Previously cyclists and pedestrians had to use the nearby Foryd Bridge. The bridge’s name, chosen through a schools competition, means “the dragon’s bridge”.
The official opening was carried out by Welsh cyclist Mark Colbourne MBE, who won a gold medal and two silver medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The bridge carries National Cycle Network Route 5 across the Foryd Harbour, at the mouth of the river Clwyd. The central sections of the deck, both sides of the tower, are designed to be raised whenever yachts need to pass. The mechanism is controlled from the harbour office nearby. At night the bridge is illuminated with lights which change colour.
The overall construction cost was £4.3million!
