This bridge was opened about two years ago. The footpath below the bridge, on the Widnes side, was re-opened a few weeks ago. When construction started, a couple of years before that, the public footpath was closed. Since its reopening it is now possible to photograph the bridge from both sides. I have waited for this for four years or more.

Pretty neat.

Thanks. Because it's very local to where I live it means so much more.

There are some great bridges, and the engineering is getting quite creative on them. But there is something appealing about and old, rusting, latticework bridge isn't there?

You chose the perspective very well here, with the close up detail of the bridge structure, and the sweeping curve into the distance. I can see why you eagerly waited to get shots of this, it is a marvelous bridge.

Perfectly composed, perfectly exposed, perfectly processed. This ought to be hanging on some walls as a large print

You're quite right. The Silver Jubilee Bridge that the Mersey Gateway replaces is typical of some of those bridges - though less able to deal with the increased traffic flow now using the crossing. The old bridge was rusting but its refurbishment is almost complete and it will re-open soon in parallel with the new bridge. I include a recent photo I took of the older bridge.

That's really nice of you to say, Christian Rock. Thank you so much.

Simply beautiful!

Nice point of view got the first shot. The second one is really outstanding!

[ThomSirveaux]

Great picture! The perspective helps give a sense of scale that I really like.
