Monday February 15th. 1954. 1.15pm.

Above can be seen the official invite card issued by Donegal County Council to the opening on February 15th. 1954. This card was kindly supplied to us by Brian Cannon, Post Master, Lettermacaward.

Below is a clipping from a newspaper published shortly after the official opening showing one of the very first people to cross - Michael Melly aged 3. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then!
