A nice piece of construction which still serves it's purpose 57 years after it was built. The 30mph speed limit is rarely adhered to and the crossing can get congested during peak hours due to the bad timing of the traffic lights on either end.

George Street Bridge is a structure that I pass quite often and it does provide a quick and easy means to get across the River Usk by walking and by car. However, I feel like renovation should be made to the bridge as it has slowly become distasteful to look at and is not maintained very well and can become quite littered and dirty. Furthermore, beneath the bridge it can be quite dark as there is no lighting. Seeing strangers under the bridge can be quite intimidating at night.

The first cable span bridge completed In the U.K. which opened in 1964. This bridge is a great example of achievements during the brutalist architecture period.

One of the many links over the river Usk. Helps you to get from a to b efficient. Good having dual lanes, easing traffic flow

Love this bridge apart from the pot holes in the inside lane coming from corporation road to lower dock street
