About five minutes.

The tower bridge in London, England is 213 feet tall. This bridge is one of the most famous of all English landmarks.

Records show it lifts 1,000 time per year therefore that is 19 times as a rough average per week. However, now lifts can be pre booked. It is hoped that this protocol will reduce lifts by grouping pass throughs and therefore reduce waiting times for crossing on the road sections . There is a lift schedule which works in advance by 2 weeks available on the Tower Bridge Org website

Tower Bridge was completed in 1894 so the people who built it are obviously all dead.

The Pont d'Iéna is right next to the Eiffel Tower.

1968 to 1972

It doesn't. The only bridge in London that opens is Tower Bridge which only opens about four times per week.

Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge in an 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and formally so named by the city government in 1915.

There was virtually no wire used in the construction of Tower Bridge. Its main components are 70,000 tons of concrete, 11,000 tons of steel and it is clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone.

Tower Bridge was completed in 1894 for the City of London Corporation.

People were able to travel across the River Thames much more easily.

No, it isn't. A beam bridge is a beam supported at each end. If you need to cross a ditch one way is to simply span it with a one inch board, then walk across. This is a simple beam bridge.

Tower bridge is a bascule bridge. A beam bridge wouldn't do here because the bridge is located downstream of the Pool of London and London docks. Very large ships needed access to this dock area which meant good width and a high overhead clearance. Tower bridge has a tower at each end, with the towers connected to each other by a gantry close to their tops. The roadway, which is not very high above the river, is in two pieces. Each piece is hinged at the tower end, and can be raised to an almost vertical position. When a large ship needs to pass through the bridge, the two bascules are raised, then lowered again as soon as the ship is through.

The name Tower bridge has nothing to do with the towers at either end. The bridge is located very close to the Tower of London, a fortress that was put there about 700 years previously.

Bus 73 and to be on the safe side allow 1 hour for the trip.

i also dont know what is the answer please

You are using past tense in your question. Tower Bridge is still there and looking well. It was built in 1894 and is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow large vessels to pass underneath it. Thankfully this doesn't happen very often these days as it causes traffic chaos every time it opens.

Arch bridges are always under compression. The force of compression is pushed outward along the curve of the arch toward the abutments.The natural curve of the arch and its ability to dissipate the force outward greatly reduces the effects of tension on the underside of the arch. The greater the degree of curvature (the larger the semicircle of the arch), however, the greater the effects of tension on the underside.Therefore, if the arch is a perfect circle, the tension is negligible.
