SJ8097 : Manchester Ship Canal, Lowry Bridge

taken 9 years ago, near to Trafford Park, Trafford, England

Manchester Ship Canal, Lowry Bridge
Manchester Ship Canal, Lowry Bridge
Also known Millennium Bridge (it was built in 2000) the Lowry Bridge provides pedestrian access between The Lowry Centre on the north bank of the Manchester Ship Canal and Trafford Wharf on the south bank. It was designed as a lift bridge because the Manchester Ship Canal is still navigable to shipping beyond the bridge (LinkExternal link - Manchester History Net). This view is from Salford Quays, looking towards Trafford Wharf.

At night, the apperarance of the bridge is enhanced by a sequence of coloured lighting. Compare this view with SJ8097 : Lowry (Millennium) Bridge, taken 80 seconds earlier.
