Footbridge Named
Tees Valley's newest landmark stands bold and proud today across the River Tees as project partners revealed the name of Stockton's North Shore footbridge to be... Infinity Bridge.
Last week, the UK's largest mobile crane was required to lift the large arch into place alongside the smaller sister arch as the complex jigsaw continues to come together. The distinctively designed curve of the footbridge now creates a unique reflection in the River Tees forming the mathematical symbol for infinity and lending itself to the name.
Joe Docherty explained,
"Infinity Bridge is set to become another symbol of the North East's transformation and a picture postcard image that represents the regeneration of the Tees Valley. Infinity says without boundaries, strength with no limits and I believe that's true for North Shore, for Stockton and for the whole of the Tees Valley.
"What is more, due to the design and mirror image on the water, you simply have to look at the footbridge spanning the River Tees to see the name there before you."
