London Tower Bridge
Considered an engineering marvel. Tower Bridge was built 120 years ago to ease road traffic while maintaining river access to the busy Pool of London docks.
"Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894. It is 800 feet (240 m) long and 213 feet (65 m) high. The bridge has two towers, which are connected by two walkways. The walkways are open to the public, and they offer stunning views of the River Thames and the surrounding area. Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge, which means that the central section of the bridge can be raised to allow ships to pass through. The bascules are raised by hydraulic power, and they can be raised in just a few minutes."
