Notes
The span rises vertically by hydraulic power to 16m above water level to allow the pasage of ships.
The bridge connects the Lowry, an arts and theatre centre, with the Libeskind designed Imperial War Museum of the North.
The span was built about a mile away and floated into place on a pontoon.
