City Bridge, Road bridge in Newport, United Kingdom.
City Bridge is a road bridge in Newport featuring a curved arch design with vertical ties connecting the deck to the arch structure. The bridge carries traffic in both directions and accommodates vehicles and pedestrians.
City Bridge was built in 2004 and marked a major advancement in Newport's transportation infrastructure. Since its opening, it has played a central role in connecting different parts of the city.
City Bridge serves as a central meeting point where local residents gather during community activities while viewing the Newport cityscape.
The bridge can be accessed from several directions and is well signposted throughout the area. The best time for a visit is outside peak traffic hours when crossing is more pleasant.
What sets this bridge apart is its cable system that distributes forces horizontally through a tying element rather than relying on foundations to absorb thrust. This efficient design allows for a more slender structure than traditional arches.
