Designed by the same chap who did the Millenium Bridge in London. I think it was that one, the wobbly one.

Yeah you are right it was Sir Norman Foster & Co. :)

I worked for one of the Consulting Engineering companies involved in the Millennium "Wobbly" Bridge at the time it was built! :whistle:

Oh we were proud when it opened..........and then had to be closed for safety reasons after a couple of hours!!! :lol: :D
