The long-awaited River Hull footbridge project is finally complete. The new crossing, designed by architects McDowell+Benedetti in association with structural engineers Alan Baxter & Associates, links Scale Lane on the west bank with Tower Street on the east bank. Photography: Timothy Soar

圣地亚哥卡拉特拉瓦没有垄断的精心设计的桥梁。在英国这个工业工程的发源地，最近出现了奇怪的解决方案，将穿越水的行为转化为精细的表现。托马斯·海瑟威克(Thomas Heatherwick)位于帕丁顿盆地(Paddington盆地)的紧凑型滚桥、苏格兰令人难以置信的福尔柯克轮船升降机，以及威尔金森·艾尔(Wilkinson Eyre)2002年在盖茨黑德(Gateshead)的“眨眼”千年桥，都展示了为一个古老原型增添功能的新方法。

现在又有一个人加入了名单。规模车道桥是一个结构，从字面上说，它围绕着河岸轴线旋转，让小型水艇沿着船体通过。由建筑师麦克道尔·贝内代蒂与结构工程师艾伦·巴克斯特合作设计

这座桥的形状就像一个笨重的逗号，沿着35米的悬臂-一个斜坡和一个台阶-和一个圆形观景台，形成了两条路线，把整个建筑变成了自己的目的地。它也有一个派对部分；它可以开放和关闭与一个完整的配额‘乘客’，移动足够慢，让更多的人从西岸登机。电力运营需要两分钟的时间才能发挥其魔力，这是一次短暂的旅程，该市希望这将带来更大的转变。

The bridge is shaped like a bulky comma, with twin routes along its 35m cantilever. It can open and close with a full quota of 'riders', moving slowly enough to allow more people to board from the west bank

The new bridge is set amidst a formerly abandoned industrial site in Hull town centre

A slinky piece of regeneration bait, the Scale Lane Bridge is the last piece in a pedestrian jigsaw that'll link up the city's museums and keep feeding a constant stream of people into the new sites

It includes a ramp and steps as well as a circular viewing deck, turning the entire structure into a destination in its own right
