River Tyne  Millenium Bridge

 

The new Millenium Bridge between the Baltic Mill Art Gallery in Gateshead to Newcastle Quayside was lifted into place today 20th November 2000. This is how it will work.

 

The Crane Barge 'Asian Hercules 2'  lifting the bridge into it's final position. The big upright windows to the left of the bridge is Ward Hadaways the office where our daughter Michelle works. The Tyne Quays have been updated almost beyond recognition from their original dockside appearance.

The bridge is a 'Blinking Eye' and is the first of it's type in the world. Newcastle upon Tyne is known as the 'City of Bridges' and this is another very fine example and a complement to the others.



...and it's progress there...
