Tay Road Bridge Tay Road Bridge The Tay Road Bridge carries the A92 road across the Firth of Tay from Newport-on-Tay in Fife to Dundee in Scotland, just downstream of the Tay Rail Bridge. At around , it is one of the longest road bridges in Europe, and was opened in 1966, replacing the old Tay ferry. As part of the modernisation projects of the 1950s, a road bridge across the Tay had been considered for several years. In August 1958 a traffic census and test bores were taken to locate the most suitable crossing for the bridge. The bridge was designed by
HMS Tay (K232) in 1947 where she was paid off and reduced to reserve. She was placed on the disposal list in 1956 and was towed to the breakers yard at Rosyth on 26 September 1956. HMS Tay (K232) HMS "Tay" (K232) was a of the Royal Navy. "Tay" was built to the RN's specifications as a Group I River-class frigate.
