NEWCASTLE: The Millennium Bridge by maykal
This is the new Millennium Bridge over the River Tyne, which opened last year (a little bit late, but it still beat London's new bridge!). Designed with cyclists in mind, it forms the shape of an eye....hmmm...well it is different! Like the new London bridge, it has problems with swaying...there were not many people on it when I went, but the movement was noticeable...it hasn't closed yet though. On the Newcastle side, some new posh restaurants have opened, while over in Gateshead, the huge Baltic warehouse is being done up, and will soon open as an art gallery I think.
