After London's wobbly one and York's Y2K bridge comes our very own cycle bridge which should have been installed two years ago but it was made too short. It was opened in Sep 2002, but closed again shortly afterward due too a fault with the swing opening. It's now finally fixed and means cyclists can now go from one side of Hull to the other all along the banks of the Humber without a major detour. It's that thing with a yellow "postage stamp" on it. simonmason.karoo.netzbridge.htmOpen ↗ Download time 9 sec 35 kb.

The size of the file is useful but the download time needs to be qualified. My download was a fraction of a second.
I'd like to add the Gateshead Millenium bridge to the above list but as one that worked first time, looks fantastic and is marvel of engineering.

There's a bridge in Oxford that I never knew existed, south of the Oxpens Road. It's on the route between the Osney Mead industrial estate and the back of the town centre multistorey car park.
It's huge and wrought. I don't understand how I missed it before.

AFAIR, the London bridge is a 'get off and walk it' and given the amount of people I see using it, highly advisable.
Peterborough has a millennium cycle bridge, too. It's made of recycled steel and is convincingly rusty.
Sadly, the tracks leading to it are rough enough to shake your teeth out. Last time I crossed it, a couple of months ago, there was nothing at the far side but water as far as the eye could see - another bridge too short, evidently.
