The coolest bridge ever!!! You can have a sit in the middle and enjoy the view. It's magnificent. Even you can feel the wind moving the bridge and the noise of the bikes crossing, it is a great experience. I wish I could have seen it when it tilts. Nevermind, it's an award winning bridge design!
Beautiful bridge it has a split section for walking and cyclists to pass through. There are seating areas on the bridge if you want to sit and enjoy the view.
What an absolutely amazing design, and piece of engineering. It was the first tilting bridge ever to be constructed. Opened for public use in 2001, the award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architectural practice WilkinsonEyre and structural engineering firm Gifford. The bridge is sometimes called the 'Blinking Eye Bridge' or the 'Winking Eye Bridge' due to its shape and its tilting method. The Millennium Bridge stands as the twentieth tallest structure in the city, as of 2024 and is shorter in stature than the neighbouring Tyne Bridge. The first tilt took place on 28 June 2001 to 36,000 onlookers. I wish I was one of them, must go back and see it at full tilt, my photos definitely do not give it justice.
great bridge! we got to see the bridge tilt at 12pm on friday which was quite exciting
The best thing in Newcastle to see is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge spanning the river Tyne. Walk along the quayside to view the bridge and walk over to the Baltic for amazing views of the city.
A must see visit to this unique pedrstrian/ cycle bridge. Try to visit when the bridge swings open. Plenty of cafes at this location and the Baltic building is located on the Gateshead side.
Amazing views.. great architecture.. and nife riverside pubs to enjoy
Lucky enough to see it raised today. Lovely day and the quayside looked lush
Lucky enough to see the amazing sight of the Millenium Bridge opening - a huge feat of engineering in action.
I love this bridge, walking at night/morning, sunset/sunrise, winter/summer. It’s such an icon for Newcastle. From the number of photos, you can tell how much I love it. Great design, welcomes everyone, runners, cyclists, walkers, children or walking your pet. It gives Newcastle a modern and stylish touch.
