The Tay Road Bridge is one of the longest road bridges in Europe. It was opened in 1966 when it replaced the old Tay Ferry. The 2,250m bridge carries the A92 road across the Firth of Tay from Newport-on-Tay in FIFE to Dundee in Scotland.

  1. Dundee has certainly changed since we visited 43 years ago on our honeymoon. May have to come back for a look. Love the ship building. Thanks for sharing Coreen. Allan
