Salford Quays lift bridge

Salford Quays lift bridge
Walk with me across this impressive bridge in my nearest city.

The Salford Quays lift bridge, also known as the Salford Quays Millennium footbridge or the Lowry bridge, is a 91.2-metre long vertical lift bridge spanning the Manchester Ship Canal between Salford and Trafford in Greater Manchester opened in 2000.

Very impressive, Herb. Love the colours and the symmetry (almost).

Thanks Amelia. You know, you stand and study a scene, especially one like this to check that it is a symmetrical as possible and yet, when you see it on the computer, you see it is out and glaringly obvious. Ah well, that's life. Very happy that in spite of this you still like it.

Cheers, Herb

I'm not keen on exact symmetry at the best of times so this is perfect for me!

An excellent PoV for this bridge! I didn't notice at first that it's not exactly symmetrical because the horizontals are perfect.

Hi Herb,

I nice shot of a bridge I have crossed a few times. .. Have you ever seen it lift?
When I was a student I used to work in Trafford park, just a stones throw from where this bridge now is. Of course it was very different in those days..

Best wishes, and Happy Easter!

Hi Peter -no I have never seen it lift. In truth I have only been here twice times before and this was the longest time spent there at about 20 minutes at this spot. Yes, this area has changes massively over the last 10 years or so, especial with Media City just over the bridge and the Lowry Centre & Theatre just behind me here. Glad it brought back memories. Herb
