Millenium Bridge over the river Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne, England (United Kingdom)

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.

Millennium Bridge over the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne, England (United Kingdom)

Five bridges cross the Tyne

And the city sits close by

For some go north and some go south

But each one seems to cry.

From the song Five Bridges
