Plans to install a temporary bridge to link two sides of a Gwynedd river over the summer have been dropped. The 154-year-old wooden Pont Briwet Bridge, which crosses the Afon Dwyryd River at Penrhyndeudraeth, was closed for good in January amid safety fears. Gwynedd council planned to install a temporary bridge in May as work on a £20m road and rail crossing continues.
