Haverfordwest's new Riverside footbridge takes shape
The bridge will span the water between the Riverside and Western Quay, and delivery of its sections began last Tuesday, May 27.
The structure has been described as 'signature' and, subsequently, 'Instagrammable'.
The cost of the Pembrokeshire County Council-driven bridge project and associated works is £5.7million.
