The Beautiful Bridge Across The Tyne River

Hello, today I will write this post English, although I'm not very good with English, grammars, etc. I will do my best, hehe.

Now, this time is about places. Do you have my Line account as your friend ? If yes, you sure know what this is.

Yes, it's my Line home background.. hehe, I used it as a wallpaper too *okay, no one asked :'v well, for those who wanted to know, this is the picture of The Tyne Bridge, today I want to post about this beautiful bridge across the Tyne river.

So, the bridge is actually the behind one, not the front one. The bridge has become a symbol of Tyneside. Tyneside that consists of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, North Tyneside, and South Tyneside, and located in North East England region.

Tyne bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. It was designed by Mott, Hay, and Anderson, and was built by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough. The bridge has the length of 389 metres, and the width of 17 metres, and was opened on 10 October 1928. The construction of the bridge itself is around 2.5 years (August 1925 - February 1928). The bridge is built in the height of 26 metres above high water level.

Beside the Tyne Bridge, there was other bridges built over the Tyne River. Firstly, there was Pons Aelius built by the Romans around 122, then the second bridge that is the old one was built in 1270 and then destroyed by the great flood of 1771. Then the third is the High Level Bridge that was opened in 1849, and the fourth is the Swing Bridge that was opened in 1876. Until now, the three bridges (Swing, High Level, and Tyne Bridge) still stand over the Tyne River. I hope I can go to these bridges one day.

I think it's enough from me, sorry for bad English. And thank you for reading my post. :D
