Newport City footbridge, Pedestrian bridge over River Usk in Newport, Wales.
The Newport City footbridge spans 145 meters across the River Usk, featuring two A-frame masts that rise 70 meters above the water level.
The bridge was inaugurated on September 12, 2006, marking the first significant infrastructure project in Newport's urban renewal program.
The bridge's design references the maritime heritage of Newport through its crane-like masts, reflecting the former trading wharves along the River Usk.
The 4.9-meter-wide aluminum deck accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, connecting the east bank near Rodney Parade stadium to University Plaza.
The bridge incorporates 20 tonnes of dampers and three kilometers of stainless steel wire, supporting up to 2,000 people simultaneously.
