Spanning the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge has become one of the region’s most distinctive landmarks since its opening in 2001. Known affectionately as the “Blinking Eye Bridge” due to its unique tilting design, it was the world’s first rotating bridge of its kind, designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects and Gifford. Framed against the backdrop of the Sage Gateshead, the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, and the historic Tyne Bridge, it represents the perfect blend of modern innovation and the rich industrial heritage of the North East.
This vibrant high-resolution aerial photograph captures the elegant curve of the Millennium Bridge reflecting beautifully onto the calm waters of the Tyne. The clarity of the image allows the viewer to fully appreciate the architectural precision, as well as the broader context of Newcastle and Gateshead’s ever-evolving Quayside. A perfect print-ready piece for anyone with a love for Tyneside’s modern skyline and engineering brilliance.
