Salford Quays lift bridge, Vertical lift pedestrian bridge at Salford Quays, England.
The Salford Quays Millennium Bridge stretches 91.2 meters across the Manchester Ship Canal with two connecting arches and fritted glass sides.
Completed in 2000, this engineering project by Parkman of Manchester incorporated an innovative float-in installation method for the movable span construction.
The bridge connects The Lowry arts center, MediaCityUK, and the Imperial War Museum North, forming a central link in the cultural district.
The structure rises 18 meters vertically within three minutes, allowing large vessels to pass through the Manchester Ship Canal beneath.
Four tubular steel space truss towers with cast steel counterweights control the lifting mechanism through cables running over large wheels.
