Jubilee Bridge, Bascule bridge in Queensferry, Wales.
The steel double leaf rolling bascule bridge spans the River Dee with three sections and measures 40.8 meters at its longest span point.
Sir William Arrol & Co constructed the bridge between 1925 and 1927, replacing an earlier structure completed during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
The bridge earned Grade II listed status in 2005 through Cadw recognition, marking its contribution to Welsh industrial and architectural heritage.
The structure carries the B5441 road across the River Dee, providing motor vehicle and pedestrian access between Garden City and Queensferry.
The lifting mechanism was removed in the 1960s when commercial shipping ceased, and remnants of the original bridge remain visible at low tide near the abutments.
