Gateshead Millennium Bridge

Constructed between 1998 and 2001, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is the second-most recent bridge to be built on the Tyne. It is arguably the most stunning and certainly the most unusual. It is a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking the re-developed waterfronts of Gateshead and Newcastle. Initially, cyclists and pedestrians were kept segregated, but now both paths across the bridge are open to pedestrians.

The bridge “opens” to shipping by tilting the pedestrian and cycleway to raise them above the level of the passing ships.
