Its location on the river Tyne means Newcastle needs bridges to connect to the South - some of them are masterpieces and an integral part of the city's image.
From here, there is a high density of bridges. The Swing Bridge, one of the few bridges crossing at low level, with its remarkable lighthouse-like top, can be opened for passing river traffic. The Tyne Bridge is a landmark bridge in Newcastle, resembling the Sydney Harbour Bridge and in fact designed by the same Dorman Long. Its colossal iron arch is the highest of the bridges in Newcastle. From the bridge, you have great views over the river and the city. You look down on the only very modern Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a white arch bridge allowing passage to cyclists and pedestrians only. In line with Newcastle's progressive bridge building, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is the first tilting span: it can be opened to allow ships to pass. It blends in well with its surrouding area of modern architecture and has become the second landmark bridge of Newcastle.
