Millennium Bridge
The unique design by Wilkinson & Eyre Architects and Gifford & Partners continues the tradition of innovative and cutting edge technology that is the hallmark of all the bridges over the River Tyne. The bridge not only looks stunning but also uses precision engineering to tilt – like the opening of an eye. An amazing sight that simply must be seen in person!
