Özet

Millennium Bridge, which is4 m wide, is asuspended footbridge between St. Paul's and the new Tate Gallery on the other side of the river. It is the first new bridge across the Thames in one hundred years. In these days, it has been a popular route across the river and also it has been enlivening two river banks that have been rather belighted by poor Access. For walking on the Millennium Bridge, people are visiting St. Paul's first and then after crossing the Thames, they are also visiting Tate Modern only by walk. From the beginning time till now, Millennium Bridge has always a happenning to be solved or to be discussed from structural point to carry the pedestrian in a safety position and also from aesthetical point, to add quality for life. In the paper, millennium bridge will be defined from the first day till now, with reasonable topics about its structural design and architectural design. And also the advantages of such a bridge to the city will be explained with its benefitial credits for the city. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group.
