Questions

[edit]

Does "Heritors of Nigg" also refer to Nigg, Aberdeen?

The Heritage Scotland page describes the deck as steel-framed wood; presumably it is no longer wood?

The article refers to a new Wellington Bridge; is this actually the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which was finished in 1983?

Thanks, Yngvadottir! Yes, it is Nigg, Aberdeen, so I've linked it; the deck was replaced in the 21st century restoration but nothing I can find states what it was replaced with (although the 2009 images show it must be concrete or some such ...); the Queen Elizabeth II bridge was the 'replacement' bridge - as it runs from Wellington Road I suspect that's why it's occasionally called Wellington Bridge. I can't seem to find the actual total cost of the restoration, looks to have topped over £1 million. Pretty bridge though! SagaciousPhil - Chat 20:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
