PHOTOS-Delays in the opening of Pont Y Werin bridge.

The bridge, which joins up the 10km route around Cardiff bay, was due to open on June 8th, 2010 but due to unforeseen supply delays the bridge will not open until 14th July, 2010.

Tests have been successfully carried out on the hydraulic operating system to raise the 20 meter section allowing vessels to pass underneath on the River Ely.

Most of the barriers, paving and other street furniture are near to completion and should be ready for the next deadline!
