Publisher's Synopsis
Linking St Paul's Cathedral on the north bank with the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre on the south, the Millennium Bridge is central London's first river crossing since the opening of Tower Bridge in 1894. The book traces the creation of the bridge from its inception to its re-opening in the autumn of 2001, and includes sections on its design by Norman Foster, Roger Ridsdill-Smith and Sir Anthony Caro, its construction, and the work done by the Arup engineers to correct its famous sway. As one of the most impressive additions to London's public space in the last fifty years, the Millennium Bridge will attract enormous public interest when it reopens.
