Millennium Bridge Lift Structure

I’ve probably published half a dozen photographs of the iconic Millennium Bridge at Salford Quays. However, I haven’t (until today) shown the massive structure designed to lift the whole bridge high up into the air to allow larger ships into the quays / docks. That said I am yet to witness a big enough boat go into this area. Few ships come into Salford Quays these days and the old industry has moved out to be replaced by art, museums, shopping and media offices.
