Following a short delay due to unfavourable weather conditions, Newtown's new 53-metre-long pedestrian and cycle bridge was hoisted into position on Saturday afternoon.
The large crane dominated the skyline of the town for most of the week, but unusually gusty wind conditions meant that the lift was delayed for a couple of days.
The weather calmed over the weekend allowing the crews onsite to carry out safety checks and finally manoeuvre the large superstructure into place.
