The Royal Albert Bridge (1859) stands as a testament to the engineering genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. One of the greatest bridges in the world, it is unique in design, unequaled in engineering and graceful in appearance.

In 2009 the town of Saltash celebrated the 150th anniversary of the opening of the bridge in some style. Now in 2010 Network Rail, the owners and custodians of this structure plan a multi million pound project to refurbish and paint it in a bid to extend its life far into the future.

Firework display on the 2nd May 2009 to celebrate 150 years since the opening of the bridge.
