Millennium Bridge (Newcastle–Gateshead)

Neigebrücke in Standardposition
Geöffnete Neigebrücke

Die Gateshead Millennium Bridge in England ist die erste Brücke, die um die Längsachse durch ihre Angelpunkte rotiert werden kann, um Schiffen die Passage unter der Brücke zu ermöglichen. Technisch ist es eine Kippbrücke und ermöglicht Fußgängern und Radfahrern eine bequeme Überquerung des Flusses Tyne fast ebenerdig. Die Brücke verbindet die Nachbarstadt Newcastle mit der Konzerthalle The Sage Gateshead und dem Museum The Baltic, die sich beide in Gateshead befinden.

Das Bauwerk planten die Bauingenieure Gifford and Partners aus Southampton zusammen mit dem Architekturbüro WilkinsonEyre Architects aus London.

Die Brücke besteht aus einem horizontalen Bogen, Deck genannt, der zum Überqueren des Flusses dient. Ein zweiter Bogen, der in der Ausgangsstellung nach oben ragt, ist zur Stabilisierung durch Seile mit dem Deck verbunden. Dieses Konstrukt kann durch acht Motoren (insgesamt 433 kW) entlang der Verbindungslinie der beiden Auflagepunkte nach oben gekippt werden (bis 45°), so dass Schiffe unterhalb der Brücke passieren können. Da die Brücke dabei an ein blinzelndes Auge erinnert, trägt sie den Spitznamen „Blinking Eye“. Die Millennium Bridge ist, wie einige andere Brücken Großbritanniens, auf der Rückseite einer Ein-Pfund-Kursmünze abgebildet.

Die Brücke wurde am 17. September 2001 der Öffentlichkeit übergeben. 2003 wurde die Brücke mit dem Supreme Award der Institution of Structural Engineers ausgezeichnet. 2004 erhielten das Bauwerk sowie seine Architekten und Ingenieure den Outstanding Structure Award der IABSE.

Nachts wird die Brücke farbig beleuchtet.
