Scale Lane Bridge, Swing bridge in Hull, United Kingdom.
The Scale Lane Bridge spans across River Hull with black steel construction and curved walkways connecting the city center to the eastern bank.
The bridge resulted from a 2007 international design competition, leading to its construction and official inauguration by the Lord Mayor of Hull in 2013.
The bridge functions as a central gathering point for community events and serves as a connection between Hull's museums in the Old Town and The Deep Submarine.
The bridge operates on scheduled times during winter months and opens only when boats need to pass through the River Hull waterway.
Engineers designed this 900-ton structure to allow pedestrians to remain on the bridge during its rotation, making it the first of its kind worldwide.
