Tummel Bridge brought down

Demolition crews spent 14 hours at the weekend removing the 40-minute bridge, which spans Central Way.

Our photograph gives some idea of the scale of the operation.

The demolition was previously set several weeks ago, but was delayed after a site inspection found it was several tonnes heavier than stated in the plans, and there was a further delay due to high winds.
