We’ve taken a look back through our archives and dug up these incredible images of Aberdeen’s bridges over the past few decades.

1984: The recently reopened Persley Bridge, left. On the right is the temporary Bailey Bridge, which was to be dismantled.
1995: The award-winning Queen Elizabeth Bridge.
1994: The King George VI Bridge, built to relieve pressure on other bridges, but often accused of not leading from anywhere to anywhere.
1964: Looking East towards the sea, with the Bridge of Don in the distance.
1947: The new Bridge of Dee took the Great Southern Road out of Aberdeen.
1993: Floodlit Wellington Bridge over the River Dee
1970: The two bridges that cross the Don at Balgownie, the Bridge of Don, right, and the Brig o’ Balgownie.
1989: Workers resurfacing the underside of the arches of King George VI Bridge. They worked daily above the ice-covered water over the winter.
1939: A quiet Grandholm Bridge in the first half of the 20th Century.
1952: The Cruden Bay bus negotiates a somewhat narrower Bridge of Don in March 1952.
1930s: The old Brig o’ Balgownie in the bright October sunshine.
