An innovative new construction project has seen Wales achieve a European first in the construction sector.
A 90-foot thermoplastic bridge - made entirely from recycled materials - has been used to span the River Tweed at Easter Dawyck in Peeblesshire.
The bridge, which is made 100 per cent from re-used plastic weighs 50 tonnes and is capable of supporting traffic.
Vertech, which was responsible for the technology that underpins the project and managing subcontractors, said that the unique approach makes for maintenance-free, sustainable construction.
