Transporter Bridge

As from August the 1st 2003 the Transporter Bridge became the responsibility of Middlesbrough Council. The Transporter Bridge is Middlesbrough's most visible link to its proud industrial heritage.The walkway across the top stands at 160 feet above the River Tees at high tide. The Gondola, suspended beneath, is still used daily to take passengers across the river. The Transporter is the longest bridge of its type in the World and is one of three remaining in Britain. The bridge is presently being repainted and will be lit up in all it's glory, a spectacular sight at night. .
