I've been down in Devon for the past week and notice the ITV local news has a bridge in their background. Does anybody know where exactly the bridge is down there? Thanks.

Shouldn't this be in the Newsroom section?

The one in the foreground is the Tamar Railway Bridge built by Brunel, the one immediately behind it is the Tamar Road bridge opened in 1962. It spans the boundary between Devon and Cornwall (about 5 miles west of Plymouth on the A38).

the image is recorded, there are different versions (one for summer during the day, one is a night time shot which required the bridges to be lit from the banks of the river as the light from the bridges themselves were not sufficient to make the image clear enough.)
