Tees Transporter Bridge
The Tees Transporter Bridge, also referred to as the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge or locally as The Transporter, is a bridge over the River Tees in northern England. It is grade II listed and the longest existing transporter in the world. When working, the bridge carries a travelling 'car', or 'gondola', suspended below the fixed structure, across the river in 90 seconds. The gondola can carry 200 people, nine cars, or six cars and one minibus. The opening ceremony on 17 October 1911 was performed by Prince Arthur of Connaught. At its opening the bridge was painted red. I like the mist looking down the Tees, the image was taken on the afternoon of 21-September-24, hope you like it.
