The Tyne Bridge is reported as being either 389A or 397.72B metres long.
Reference A does not cite the source of this figure, whereas reference B reports the source of it's data as one of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers and as such the figure of 397.72 metres is likely to be the most reliable.

The bridge design was based on New York's Hells Gate Bridge
River Tyne that separates Newcastle upon Tyne from Gateshead has several crossing points using bridges, most of them really close together. The ones that I can remember from when I lived in Newcastle are: Millenium bridge Tyne bridge Swing bridge High bridge These were the main ones close to the bar on the Queyside. The remaining 3 were further away and can't remember the names since they were not as popular to the public by name.
There are seven bridges crossing the river tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle Millenium Bridge(pedestrians and cyclists), Tyne Bridge(road), Swing Bridge(road), High Level Bridge(road and rail also the oldest), Queen Elizabeth II(carries the tyneside metro), King Edward VII(railway only) and Redeugh(road). There are also the Scotswood, Ai dual carriageway and Newburn which cross the river a couple of miles upstream from Newcastle.
The name meaning of Tyne is 'River'
Tyne Bridge was created in 1928.
The firm Dorman, Long and Co built the Tyne Bridge from the designs of the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson. Please see the related links for more information.
No, it is a through arch bridge, although there is a swing bridge that crosses the Tyne just downstream from the Tyne Bridge. Please see the related links for more information.
10 bridges cross the tyne from the A1 bridge to the millenuim bridge.
