The Humber Bridge celebrates 25 years

[lavamat_jon]

This weekend marked the Humber Bridge's 25th anniversary. For those of you who don't know it is a suspension bridge of over a mile long that links the north and south banks of the River Humber which separates Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in the UK. For it's first 17 years it was the longest suspension bridge in the world; though nowadays it is now only the 3rd longest.

Found a video on youtube earlier which had been captured off the local news; this bridge IMO is one of the England's most beautiful piece of engineering.

Just thought others might have an interest

thank you

As well as being an appliance nut, I'm also a bridge nut. Thanks for the posting. I've always wanted to travel to see this bridge; someday.
