Lune Millennium Bridge, Cable-stayed footbridge in Lancaster, England

The Lune Millennium Bridge spans 140 meters across the River Lune with twin 40-meter-high steel masts supporting the main deck through cable systems.

Built in 2001 at a cost of £1.8 million, the bridge was designed by Whitby Bird and Partners to mark the turn of the millennium.

The bridge's double pylon structure references the maritime heritage of Lancaster through its design reminiscent of sailing ship masts at the former quay.

The 4-meter-wide bridge deck serves as part of the National Cycle Network Route 6, connecting cyclists and pedestrians to Morecambe, Caton, and Glasson Dock.

The structure features a Y-shaped plan that connects one riverbank to both a viaduct and an adjacent quay at different elevations.
