The Tamar Bridge, adjacent to the more famous Royal Albert Bridge, is a major road bridge at Saltash in southwest England carrying traffic between Cornwall and Devon over the River Tamar. When it opened in 1961 it was the longest suspension bridge in the United Kingdom. In 2001 it became the world's first suspension bridge to be widened (from three to five lanes) using cantilevers. The five lanes are divided as follows: three lanes carry the A38 trunk road (the middle lane being a reversible lane), the fourth is reserved for eastbound local traffic and the fifth for pedestrians and cyclists.
