Coronavirus Drive Over Tay Road Bridge Firth Of Tay Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish music, North over the road bridge over the River Tay on visit from Fife to Dundee, Tayside. The bridge which spans the Firth of Tay from Newport on Tay in Fife to Dundee was designed by William Fairhurst and construction began in March 1963 with the infilling of West Graving Dock, King William Dock and Earl Grey docks in Dundee. The construction was undertaken by Duncan Logan Construction Ltd. Controversially, construction required the demolition of Dundee's Royal Arch where Queen Victoria had entered the city on a royal visit. Rubble from the Victoria arch was used as foundations for the on-ramp. The completed bridge was officially opened by the Queen Mother on 18 August 1966.
