Tower Bridge

Story

Та́уэрский мост — разводной мост в центре Лондона над рекой Темзой, недалеко от Лондонского Тауэра. Иногда его путают с Лондонским мостом, расположенным выше по течению. Открыт в 1894 году. Также является одним из символов Лондона и Британии.КонструкцияМост спроектировал Хорас Джонс, он представляет собой разводной мост длиной 244 м с двумя поставленными на промежуточные опоры башнями высотой 65 м. Центральный пролёт между башнями, длиной 61 м, разбит на два подъёмных крыла, которые для пропуска судов могут быть подняты на угол 83°. Каждое из более чем тысячетонных крыльев снабжено противовесом, минимизирующим необходимое усилие и позволяющим развести мост за одну минуту. В движение пролёт приводится с помощью гидравлической системы, первоначально водяной, с рабочим давлением 50 бар (750 psi). Вода нагнеталась двумя паровыми машинами общей мощностью 360 л. с. Система была разработана инженером Гамильтоном Оуэном Ренделем, работавшим на компанию «W. G. Armstrong Mitchell». В 1974 году система была полностью обновлена — масляная гидравлика имеет электрический привод.Для пешеходов конструкцией моста предусматривалась возможность пересекать мост даже во время развода пролёта. Для этой цели, кроме обычных тротуаров, расположенных по краю проезжей части, в средней части были сконструированы пешеходные галереи, соединяющие башни на высоте 44 метров. Попасть в галерею можно было по лестницам, расположенным внутри башен. С 1982 года галерея используется как музей и смотровая площадка.

I loved it, it seems spectacular to me. I have always seen it on TV or in photos and when I have seen it live I have not been disappointed. Crossing it and taking photos made me excited. We were also lucky that it was sunny. What more could you want? A must visit if you are in London.
One of the most beautiful things I saw. I really loved this connection between modern technic and ancient building....
One of the best to hanging around. Whenever you go you get good vibe. In the day time you will get picture perfect place and from the evening time it's the best place for walk.
Brilliant experience. We saw the bridge go up. Ive lived in Central London for 40+ years and this is the 1st time I've seen it. Shame it was only to test the mechanics, would have been nice to see a ship go through. However still a great experience.
