INFINITY AND BEYOND . . .

The tour continues . . .
Welcome to the Infinity Bridge at Stockton-on-Tees.

Constructed in 2009 for £15M, this magnificent two arched bridge creates a reflection in the water forming the mathematical infinity symbol – hence the name.

The main arch is 120 metres long and the smaller arch is 60 metres. Overall the bridge is 273 metres and uses 450 tonnes of locally produced steel.

The central pier is supported by 12 tubular steel piles driven into the river bed. The top of the main arch is 40 metres above the Tees and the footway is 4 metres wide. At night the footway is lit by blue and white LED lighting designed to change colour as people cross.

This forms part of a 7 bridge trail exhibiting the best that the Teesside Bridge Builders can offer. Their work has influenced the world and boasts examples such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. Definitely Smoggies On Tour !

Hope you all have a grand weekend !
