Maesglas Road bridge reconstruction(2)
<p>The electrification of the South Wales Mainline requires that a number of bridges in and around Newport undergo modification as they are too low to accommodate the overhead wires. One of these is the Maesglas Road bridge. Since 2004, when the nearby Southern Distributor Road was constructed and one end of the bridge became a cul de sac, the bridge has had no through traffic. A temporary footbridge across the railway has been provided for the duration of the work.
</p>
The bridge to be replaced is on the left and the temporary footbridge is on the right.
