THE GATESHEAD MILLENNIUM BRIDGE

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a unique tilting opening bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, spanning some 100m across the River Tyne in the northeast of England close to the famous Tyne Bridge. It was the result of an architect/engineer collaboration in a design competition, and the planning and procurement process is outlined. The paper describes the design from concept through development and analysis and explains the design criteria adopted for static and dynamic conditions., Construction of the various elements of the bridge is explained, as are the proposals for erection.
