✨ The Millennium Bridge – London ✨
Snapped these shots of the Macalloy tie bars doing what they are engineered to do. These sleek steel rods help keep the bridge stable while preserving its iconic minimalist look.
🔍 Fun fact: When the bridge first opened in 2000, it started to wobble unexpectedly due to pedestrian footfall syncing up—a phenomenon called synchronous lateral excitation. It was quickly nicknamed the “Wobbly Bridge” and had to be retrofitted with dampers to fix the issue. Now it’s a global case study in dynamic engineering!
