Description: | 1964
Wetherby By-pass was constructed between October 1957 and October 1959 by Crowley Russell and Co. Ltd. and the Cementation Company. It cost over ?600,000 and included this new bridge spanning the River Wharfe. The design of the By-pass was intended to be sympathetic with the landscape and the bridge is described as having a 'functional beauty'. The By-pass is a length of road measuring 2 1/4 miles planned to eliminate the heavy traffic congestion along the Great North Road through the town centre. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Wetherby By-pass bridge River Wharfe | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
