About the Bridge

The Trinity Footbridge was the first gesture of the development of the Chapel Wharf area of Salford, England.  The bridge links the two cities of Salford and Manchester, and is meant solely for pedestrian traffic.

One of the most striking features of the bridge is the 60° angled mast, which holds the support cables.  This feature required great skill both to design and build, as the precisely angled cables had to be welded in place before the mast was fully assembled.
