The Celtic Gateway (Welsh: Porth Celtaidd) is a stainless steel pedestrian and cycle bridge located in Anglesey, Wales. Opened on 19 October 2006 by Andrew Davies AM to connect Holyhead's railway station and ferry terminal with the town centre, it significantly reduced the walking time between the locations at its two ends. Crossing the Old Holyhead Harbour, the North Wales coastal railway line and the A5154 (formally the end of the A5), this 160 m, 7 m structure was built in the futuristic architectural style by the Italian company Cimolai. The whole length of the bridge is wheelchair and pram accessible. The Gateway is further enhanced by a number of artworks. These include "Sun boats", a series of bronze plaques which have been built into the bridge paving. The sun boat image is derived from the sun-worshipping Celts who believed it travelled across the night sky in a boat.
