Tilting bridge opens eye to the world.
The world's first rotating bridge, which features a radical engineering design, has opened to the public. About 30,000 people enjoyed the chance to walk or cycle over the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which straddles the River Tyne in north-east England. Engineers have been working on the futuristic "blinking eye" structure since it was floated up the river into position in November 2000.
