New bridge for millennium
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A British team has beaten off the challenge of 225 other entrants in an international competition to design London's first pedestrian bridge.
The Millennium Bridge will be London's first new river crossing for more than a century. It will link two of the capital's most significant public spaces and buildings - St Paul's Cathedral to the north and the area around the new Tate Gallery of Modern Art and the Globe Theatre to the south. The winning team is headed by Foster & Partners (architects), Sir Anthony Caro (sculptor), and Ove Arup & Partners (consulting engineers).
