The Newport Transporter Bridge is a crossing of the River Usk in the city of Newport, South Wales in the United Kingdom.
It is a Grade I listed structure. Designed by French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin, it was built in 1906 and opened by Godfrey Charles Morgan, 1st Viscount Tredegar on 12 September 1906.
The span is an example of the very rare transporter bridge concept, of which only eight exist worldwide.
The height of the towers is 242 feet (74 metres) and the height of the horizontal beam above the road is 177 feet (54 metres).
The transporter platform or gondola travels the 592 feet (181 metres) between the towers at ten feet (three metres) per second, powered from the engine room
