The Celtic Gateway, Steel pedestrian bridge in Holyhead, Wales

The Celtic Gateway spans 160 meters across Old Holyhead Harbor, connecting the town center with the railway station and ferry terminal.

Inaugurated in October 2006, this bridge reduced the walking distance between transportation points from 830 meters to 280 meters.

Bronze plaques featuring sun boat imagery decorate the bridge pavement, referencing ancient Celtic beliefs about celestial navigation.

The seven-meter-wide structure accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, eliminating the need to cross any roads or steep inclines.

The Italian company Cimolai manufactured this stainless steel structure, which includes Venetian glass mosaics created by artist Gary Drostle.

Location: Isle of Anglesey

Official opening: October 19, 2006

Made from material: stainless steel
