The construction of the Silver Jubilee Bridge was started on April 25th1956 and was opened on uly 21st 1961 by H.R.H. Princess Alexandra of Kent.

In 1975 work was started to widen the bridge and this was done by Consultants, Mott Hay and Anderson. Contractor were a consortium of Leonard Fairclough and Redpath Dorman Long.

The extended bridge was opened by The Minister of Transport on 24th March 1977. At 330m the bridge is one of the largest steel arch bridges in the world.

Well as you asked, it would look a little like this :LOL:

I think there is just too much dead space on the right.

Great pics and nice subject. They have done a lovely job of lighting it!

Where is it?
 
the composition works really well in number 1 but the atmosphere lets it down by a great deal. I would suggest going back one evening/morning and getting it in some nice warm light/interesting cloudscape.

The Silver Jubilee Bridge is between Runcorn (originally in Cheshire) and Widnes (originally in Lancashire), both now part of Halton, England.
