Does no one else like the bridges?

Newcastle's bridges are bloody smashing mate - so many good designs all crammed into such a small amount of space.

Brilliant stuff - can't wait to get back down to Newcastle again - it's been too long....


But don't expect too many replies round here: this Bridges forum is always really quiet.

Be patient, and they will come :)

yeah, i'm so glad to be back here after a summer away - the bridges are quality and such a famous part of the skyline :). be patient and see what people have to say - i've never met anyone who wasn't impressed crossing the tyne on the train and seeing them all lined up. nice photos dude!

The Tyne bridge is like a Mini Sydney Harbour bridge

Massive. Especially like those views looking down the river. It's bridge after bridge after bridge. All layered up and looking like sex.

I believe the Tyne bridge was modled on the design of the Sydney harbour bridge, but they were both built at around the same time.

4. A high concrete parking garage offers a view on the Tyne Bridge, at the opening it was the largest single span bridge in the world.
