Cobweb Bridge, Footbridge under Victorian railway viaduct in Sheffield, United Kingdom.
The S-shaped Cobweb Bridge stretches 330 feet along the River Don, featuring suspension cables that connect to the underside of the Wicker Arches viaduct.
Built in 2002, this bridge forms part of the Five Weirs Walk and eliminated a one-mile detour previously required for pedestrians crossing the River Don.
The bridge incorporates steel spider sculptures that house lighting fixtures, reflecting Sheffield's industrial metal-working heritage and contemporary urban design.
The structure underwent modifications in 2015, replacing its original wire parapet with metal plates decorated with spider web patterns to prevent vandalism.
The bridge passes beneath the massive Victorian railway arches while connecting both river banks through an engineering solution designed by Sheffield City Council.
