The historic Union Chain Bridge connecting England and Scotland over the River Tweed is now open after completion of £10.5m restoration works.

Spencer Group was behind the project that saw the bridge restored to its former glory. Built in 1820, it is the oldest vehicle suspension bridge in the world.

The works started in October 2020 and lasted 30 months. Every single piece was removed, checked and restored, or replaced before being reassembled.
