Seeing this bridge being built in sight from my home inspired me to become a civil engineer.

Happy 267th Birthday to the amazing #ThomasTelford. Have a look at my map of many of his accomplishments here tinyurl.com/bdcwxukp @ICELibrary @ICE_engineers @GordonMasterton

267 years ago today. Thomas Telford, the civil engineer whose works transformed Scotland and had a huge impact elsewhere, was born near Westerkirk in Dumfries-shire on 9 August 1757. This is his bridge at Craigellachie in Moray. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/u…
ALT Craigellachie Bridge. The image shows the sandy shoreline of a river in the foreground with a rocky far shore rising steeply and covered in trees. An arched metal bridge crosses the river with abutments that look like castles from a chess set. The bridge has a lattice construction and is well above the viewer. The scene is in sunlight.

#OnThisDay in 1968 the final section of the #M74 Hamilton Bypass was opened. It extended the motorway northwards and was built by Tarmac Construction. The project included construction of the distinctive and award winning Maryville Interchange seen here in 1969.
