Sir Bobby Robson Bridge, Cable-stayed footbridge in Ipswich, England
The Sir Bobby Robson Bridge stretches 60 meters across the River Gipping with a single 35-meter high wishbone-shaped pylon supporting eight suspension cables.
The bridge, completed in 2009 at a cost of £800,000, replaced a long detour route that residents previously had to take to cross the river.
The bridge received its name through a local newspaper competition to honor Sir Bobby Robson, who managed Ipswich Town Football Club from 1969 to 1982.
The structure connects Compair Crescent in the Voyage development to West End Road, providing direct access between residential areas and Ipswich town center.
The bridge maintains a clearance of 2.3 meters during spring tides and stands as the second tallest structure in Ipswich.
