Process to re-erect Union Chain Bridge between England and Scotland gets under way

A massive engineering project to return an iconic bridge to its rightful place crossing the River Tweed between England and Scotland has got under way.

Work is now under way to re-erect the main suspension chains of the Union Chain Bridge near Berwick, following a lengthy process to dismantle the crossing point in order to restore it to its former glory.

The £10.5 million scheme has seen the 201-year-old bridge's components repaired, refurbished, and replaced after the work got underway in October 2020.
