Maybe you’ve already seen the bridge illuminations as the lighting trials have been carried out, but we are pleased to say that the two-year refurbishment project to paint the bridge’s 180-year-old suspension chains is in its final stages. Here’s what it means for you, the illuminations are back on!

On one night in 1564 the skies above Bristol were said to have filled with colourful beams of light. At the time this was seen as an omen heralding the return of the plague to the city but it’s now theorised it was likely the aurora borealis being visible unusually far south.

The Latin inscription on the Leigh Woods tower of the Clifton Suspension Bridge reads “SUSPENSA VIX VIA FIT”. There are several ways of interpreting this phrase and could mean “Road suspended with great difficulty” or a more alarming translation is “Road is barely suspended.”
