GATESHEAD MILLENIUM BRIDGE, MANCHESTER

Nicknamed "The Winking Eye", the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a world famous landmark with its tall white arch and it's the only tilting bridge in the world.

Although Newcastle has six bridges crossing the River Tyne, none of them are dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians. As part of the regeneration project of the Quay, it was decided to build a foot bridge in order to connect the newest venues such as The Sage and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art to the centre of Newcastle.
