Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge (FONTB)

 

We are delighted to announce that the Bridge will be officially reopened on Friday 30 July and that the Visitor Centre will be open every day from Monday 2 August

An Open Day is planned for Bank Holiday Monday 30 August

 

 

The Newport Transporter Bridge spans the River Usk in Newport, South Wales and is a Grade 1 Listed Structure. Its historic importance stems from its very unusual design. There are only two others like it in the UK and seven in the World. It is owned and run by Newport City Council and celebrated its centenary in September 2006.

Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge (FONTB) is a registered Charity founded in 1998 and dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Bridge. .

Our activities include publishing a regular Newsletter for members, organising visits to the Bridge for clubs, schools and other groups and giving presentations about the Bridge. We work in partnership with other charities during their fundraising events at the Bridge and award certificates to those who have been brave enough to walk across the top on Open Days. We also maintain an archive and this website.
