Trogan, how long did it take too build the original.
Not as long as this one, that's for sure. L0L
However, they did over-budget on the original bridge too:
MAESDU CROSSING (RAILWAY BRIDGE).
20 December 1927
Major Owen:
Asked the Minister of Transport whether any grant has been sanctioned by his Department for the erection of a bridge across the railway at Maesdu crossing, Llandudno; if so, what is the sum allotted for the purpose and what are the conditions upon which it is made; and when will he make arrangements for this work to be started?
Colonel Ashley:
"The construction of a bridge across the railway at Maesdu crossing, Llandudno, is part of a scheme for the making of a new road. A grant of 50 per cent of the original estimated net cost of
£25,117 was made in September, 1925, and I am sending the Hon Member a copy of the conditions upon which the grant was made. The works are now estimated to cost
£29,657, based on the lowest tenders received, and the Conway Town Council has applied for an additional grant towards the extra cost. This application is under consideration"
Mr. Griffiths:
"Has not the Minister of Transport a Welshman to tell him how to pronounce these names?"
Colonel Ashley:
"I am going down there in February, and I hope to learn the proper pronunciation" L0L
