An engineering marvel.
Britannia Bridge的点评
点评：The Britannia Bridge, or Pont Britannia, is an dual-purpose, two-tier engineering marvel that spans the Menai Strait between the city of Bangor and the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales.
My family and I found ourselves crossing this bridge on our way to Anglesey back in August.
Designed by renowned civil engineer Robert Stephenson and built originally in 1850, and carried trains for the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company.
Unfortunately the bridge was devastated by fire in 1970 when some idiotic boys dropped a burning torch inside one of the tubular structures that the trains travelled through. This being a 120 year old bridge at this point, and containing materials such as wood and tar, the whole thing was soon ablaze to the point that it was beyond repair.
Instead of abandoning the bridge, it was rebuilt in an entirely new format. Gone were the metal tubes, and in was a new rail deck to trains to continue crossing the Menai Strait, whilst a new, reinforced concrete upper deck was added to enable cars to also use the bridge, making this a truly two-tier, multi-use engineering marvel.
It was on this upper deck that my family now passed on what is today the A55.
You get lovely views over the Strait from this bridge, and apparently there are four massive limestone lions, two on either side of the bridge, though I did not see them...

翻译：不列颠尼亚桥（或称不列颠尼亚桥）是一座横跨梅奈海峡、连接北威尔士班戈市和安格尔西岛的双层双用途桥梁，堪称工程奇迹。
今年八月，我和家人前往安格尔西岛时，曾途经此桥。
这座桥由著名土木工程师罗伯特·斯蒂芬森设计，最初建于1850年，曾是切斯特和霍利黑德铁路公司的列车通行桥梁。
不幸的是，1970年，几个愚蠢的男孩将燃烧的火把掉进了列车行驶的管状结构中，导致桥梁被大火吞噬。由于这座桥当时已有120年的历史，且桥梁主体由木材和焦油等材料构成，火势迅速蔓延，最终无法修复。
然而，人们并没有放弃这座桥，而是以全新的形式重建了它。原先的金属管桥已经拆除，取而代之的是一条新的铁路桥面，火车可以继续穿越梅奈海峡。同时，为了方便汽车通行，又增建了一层钢筋混凝土上层桥面，使这座桥成为名副其实的双层多功能工程奇迹。
我的家人就是从这上层桥面经过的，也就是如今的A55公路。
从这座桥上可以欣赏到海峡的美丽景色。据说桥的两侧各有两尊巨大的石灰岩狮子，但我并没有亲眼见到它们……
