The Millennium Bridge
Opened in September 2001, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a triumph of design and engineering. Thanks to the combined expertise and innovation of architects Wilkinson Eyre and engineers Gifford and Partners, not only does the bridge feature stunning, modern lines, but it also boasts a world-first tilting mechanism used to open and close the bridge like a giant eyelid.
It is the latest addition to the Tyne’s famous collection of bridges, which have given Tyneside one of the most distinctive and recognisable skylines in Europe.
The bridge links the new arts and cultural developments of Baltic and The Sage Gateshead on Gateshead Quays on the south bank of the river with Newcastle Quayside on the north side.
The bridge can open for ships to pass through in just four minutes, powered by eight highly energy-efficient electric motors delivering a massive 589 horsepower. It is the only purpose-built bridge for cyclists across the river and joins two cross-country riverside cycleways, which form part of a national network.
By day, the bridge is white, but at night, a multi-coloured light show transforms it and creates beautiful reflections on the water.
