Gateshead Millenium Bridge was built across River Tyne. The total value spending to build this bridge is 22 millions pounds sterling. This bridge has a 'shark jaw' that could open to allow cruises and ships to go through. It takes about 5 minutes to open up to 40 degree, sometimes wind speed may slow down the process.
On our way crossing the bridge.
The one at the far end of this photo is Tyne Bridge.

Gateshead Millenium Bridge
Tyne Bridge is also built to connect two lands in between River Tyne. Previously it was a stonebridge (year 1270), but then it was washed away by a big flood in 1771. 10 years after that, a new stonebridge was built. After almost a century, then only this bridge turned to be the Swing Bridge that we see today. It was operated in 1876.
