The bridge was originally 11 metres<br />

wide, which was later expanded to<br />

16.6 metres. The bridge sustained<br />

heavy damage from World War II<br />

explosions. Following rebuilding,<br />

reconstructions have been carried<br />

out several times. Most recently, a<br />

wonderfully restored and renovated<br />

Margaret Bridge was put into service<br />

on 20/12/2011. An important<br />

criterion during renovation was<br />

restoration of the pre-World War II<br />

appearance of the bridge, so wrought<br />

iron lamps and overhead cable<br />

brackets were added, new railings<br />

were installed and the spectacle was<br />

enhanced with floodlighting.<br />
