The Flintshire Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Dee Estuary in North Wales. The bridge links Flint and Connah's Quay to the shore north of the River Dee at the southern end of the Wirral Peninsula. The bridge cost £55million to construct.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Deeside History )〕 This cost was met by the then Welsh Office and in the future, maintenance costs are expected to be the responsibility of the local authority Flintshire County Council. The bridge was officially opened in 1998 by Queen Elizabeth II. It carries part of the A548 road and has been nicknamed 'the bridge to nowhere' by locals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=£55million Flintshire Bridge grossly underused )〕 It is the largest asymmetric cable-stayed bridge in the whole of Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Flintshire Bridge )〕 The Welsh Assembly Government is now considering the Flintshire Bridge as an alternative route for a major road expansion through the county, after plans to expand the A494 in Deeside were scrapped in March 2008. ==See also== * List of bridges in Wales 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flintshire Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
