Completed that year, this engineering marvel was the brainchild of the renowned French engineer, Ferdinand Arnodin. As one of the few surviving aerial ferries in the world, the Newport Transporter Bridge stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. The bridge, which transports vehicles and pedestrians across the river, is a unique blend of elegance and functionality. Its distinctive design, featuring two towers and a movable span, allowed for the passage of larger vessels beneath it. The bridge's construction marked a significant milestone in transportation history, as it was the first bridge of its kind to be built in the UK.
