Rolling Bridge, United Kingdom
From series “The Most Unusual and Strange Bridges on Earth”Year: 2004. Lenght: 12 meters.
A famous pedestrian bridge can be found in London. Its special feature is that the bridge can be rolled up. In the rolled state, the construction has nothing in common with the ordinary bridge. The process of loading and unloading the bridge always attracts the many tourists who want to take the unusual photos.
The pedestrian bridge, with a length of 12 meters, is a complex construction of metal railings and wooden beams. The hydraulic high-performance pumps are installed in the balustrades, which roll up the bridge in a few seconds. The bridge is located on the Canal Grand Union. The guests of London, who want to observe the process of winding in and unloading the bridge, are to visit this place on Friday. At noon, at first glance, the usual bridge begins to be rolled up and becomes the great octahedron with the web of metal pipes.
