Millennium Bridge

London, UK, 1996-2000

The Millennium Bridge springs from a dynamic collaboration between engineering, art and architecture to provide the first new Thames crossing since Tower Bridge. A shallow suspension structure, it is designed to allow pedestrians unimpeded views up and down river. A thin ribbon of steel by day, it is illuminated to form a blade of light at night.

Co-architects: Sir Anthony Caro and Ove Arup & Partners
