Peace Bridge, Footbridge over River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland
The Peace Bridge extends 235 meters across the River Foyle with a curved design featuring self-anchored suspension and a width of 4 meters.
The bridge opened on June 25, 2011, with European Union Commissioner Johannes Hahn, First Minister Peter Robinson, and Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny attending the ceremony.
The structure connects the eastern Waterside district with the western Cityside area, enhancing interaction between different community groups across the River Foyle.
The bridge provides direct access between Ebrington Square and the city center, serving both pedestrians and cyclists throughout the day and evening hours.
The structure's asymmetrical design incorporates two supporting pylons on opposite banks, creating a snake-like path across the water with a 101-meter main span.
