St. Paul's Cathedral and the Millenium Bridge


St. Paul's Cathedral and the Millenium Bridge

The Millenium Bridge, was, as you would guess from its name, built to celebrate the turn of the millenium. Interestingly, it had to be closed two days after it opened due to lateral vibrations exacerbated by pedestrian traffic (also see: Tacoma Narrows Bridge). Now dampers keep the swaying down.
