Media City Footbridge, Footbridge in Salford Quays, England
The Media City Footbridge spans 100 meters across the Manchester Ship Canal, connecting the MediaCityUK development with surrounding areas in Greater Manchester.
The bridge opened in 2011 as part of a comprehensive transformation project that converted former industrial docklands into a modern media and technology district.
The footbridge links multiple cultural destinations, including The Lowry theatre, Imperial War Museum North, and the BBC broadcasting facilities at MediaCityUK.
The structure accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct access between public transportation stops and the numerous facilities within the MediaCityUK complex.
The bridge features a twisting form designed by WilkinsonEyre architects, incorporating specialized lighting systems that illuminate the structure during evening hours.
