Take a tour of Gateshead Millenium Bridge in United Kingdom – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. Often called the "Blinking (or Winking) Eye Bridge", the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is an ingenious structure. In some ways it resembles a giant harp suspended over the River Tyne. Pedestrians and cyclists use this curved and sloped bridge to cross from bank to bank. But what really makes this bridge interesting is what happens when boat traffic needs to pass. The entire bridge tilts back 40 degrees to let boats through on the Tyne. It is the appearance this movement has from the river that gives the Millennium Bridge its nickname.
