The 2.2 km long Tay Road Bridge crossing the Firth
of Tay was constructed in 1966 by engineer William Fairhurst. For its 50th
anniversary local artists Fraser Gray and Martin McGuiness realised a colourful
mural creating an anamporhic illusion in the two entry areas for pedestrians.
The interplay between primary and secondary colours accentuates the function of
the formerly dismal array of support pillars as a usable public space.
