Lonely Planet review for Tay Rail Bridge & Tay Road Bridge
At just over 2 miles long, the Tay Rail Bridge was the world's longest when it was built - it was completed in 1887 and replaced an earlier bridge whose stumps can be seen alongside. The original bridge collapsed during a storm in 1879, less than two years after it was built, taking a train and 75 lives along with it. The 1.5-mile Tay Road Bridge was opened in 1966.
Tay Rail Bridge costs 80p per car southbound, but is toll-free for northbound traffic.
