A £1million restoration of an iconic Dundee bridge has been completed. City Council chiefs confirmed the Finlathen Viaduct over the Dighty Burn has now reopened to the public.

Completed in two phases between 2019 and 2022 the crossing - which was badly damaged by water saturation - is now fully open.

Mark Flynn convener of Dundee City Council’s city development committee said: “This major project has restored what is a much-loved and well used local landmark to its former glory.“We wanted to be sure that that the bridge’s structure was sound along its entire length, so after phase one was successfully carried out to the south of the Dighty, a second phase tackling the north of the burn was agreed.”Local contractors Dundee Plant Co Ltd, carried out the work to reconstruct and refurbish the 80m length of the bridge, including pointing of all stonework and improved surfacing.Historical records reveal that the 152m structure was put up by the Dundee Water Company between 1846 and 1847 to carry the first water pipeline from Monikie over the Dighty valley to Dundee.DundeeLive brings you the latest headlines from Dundee and beyond.But did you know you all the ways you can stay informed with us?You can get our top stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily news updates.
