As its name indicates, this bridge was built in honor of the third millennium. The steel structure was designed by architects Foster & Partners and it is London's first new bridge since 1894. The Millennium Bridge is a 370-metre long pedestrian walkway with easy access for the disabled - a scenic stroll along the teak decks between St. Paul's and the Tate Modern. Formed by a single sweeping arc, it is designed to appear as a thin ribbon of steel by day and, illuminated at night, as a shining blade of light across the river.
