Abstract
We show that every p-fold strictly-cyclic branched covering of a b-bridge link in admits a p-symmetric Heegaard splitting - in the sense of Birman and Hilden - of genus . This gives a complete converse of one of the results of the two authors. Moreover, we introduce the concept of weakly p-symmetric Heegaard splittings and prove similar results in this more general context.
