Can someone just clarify something for me? I was just looking at a Graniaud article about the Better Public Building awards run by the government. One of the contenders is some road in Cardiff, apparently the greenest road in Britain with otter passages and roosts for hibernating bats etc and in the article a picture appears with the caption "The Cardiff-Glan Conway road includes recycled materials, otter passages, and a winter hibernation cave for protected bats".

Only I think its Tinsley Viaduct they've used. Heres the URL:

I know theres not much point to this post so apologies for taking up valuable space, bu i just want to make sure I'm not going out of my mind and imagining things.

Cheers

EDITED: Yup, they've changed the pic as spotted further down! Spotter Badge for you!

For some reason I am not seeing any picture, however Tinsley Viaduct is on the shortlist for the awards.

Spooky - I am now seeing a picture on Barra's original url but it is a picture of a very green looking road.

£82 million pounds ?

Thats a massive amount of money to "fix" a bridge.

They must have realised and changed it.
