Deisgned in response to a request by The Millennium Bridge Commision in 2000 the workshop demonstrates the ‘wobble’ affect that caused the closure of the bridge soon after opening
Pupils work individually in groups and altogether to construct a model up to 12m long of this uniquest of suspension bridges. The structure is held aloft by 8 pupils holding nothing more than the string which represents the suspension cables strung alongside the bridge, rather than from above as with a traditional suspension bridge.
