Tower Bridge (London)

Tower Bridge was opened to traffic in 1894 and has never been rebuilt. The bridge that you see today is the original structure.

There are two possible answers. The bridge is immediately adjacent to the Tower of London so may have been named after it. Alternatively, there is a tower at both ends of the bridge to support the suspension cables so could have been called 'Tower' because of that.

Tower Bridge was completed in 1894

Stone, iron and/or steel, concrete, and brick.

ADDED: The primary structure of the visible parts of the bridge is a steel frame, clad for weather-protection and appearance by the ornate stone-work.

I want to know What time the Tower Bridge lifts on Friday 12th July or Saturday 13th July 2013. Does anyone know?

it has been used for getting cars, vans and bus' across the river themes and help boats get through to the sea.

Nobody. There is no residential accommodation on the bridge.

Yes, Tower Bridge is located within London's congestion charge zone. The congestion charge applies to vehicles driving in the zone during specific hours on weekdays. Drivers should be aware of this charge to avoid fines while navigating through the area.

The two cities that the Tower Bridge spans are London and the City of London. Tower Bridge crosses the River Thames, connecting the borough of Tower Hamlets with the City of London, which is often referred to simply as "the City." This iconic structure is not only a vital crossing point but also a symbol of London’s rich history and architectural heritage.

Bridge towers are used in suspension bridges or cable stayed bridges. cables, what hold roadway, are fixed there.

No, but there is a museum within the brdge which has an entry fee.

About 2 miles.

there are camras on the bridge and the men in the workrooms see theres a boat coming from the tv and pull a leaver to make gears spin and the gears make the platform go up and they push the leaver up again once the boats through to make them go down again.

There isn't another bridge anywhere else in the world that looks anything like Tower Bridge so it is instantly recognisable. It is the only bridge over the river Thames that can be raised to allow tall-masted boats to pass under it. It is still possible for pedestrians to cross the bridge, even when it is 'open' to allow a boat to pass underneath.

The Height of the tower bridge is 147' ft. tall

Tower Bridge is adjacent to the Tower of London and St Katherine's Dock (an upmarket marina). It is also close to the original City of London - which is now London's financial district.

Actually, a suspension bridge mostly has 2 or more towers. The towers on a bridge are used for support without them a bridge would collapse! :-)

Its a little over 2 miles by foot, its a pretty little walk up the Thames where you can pass St. Paul's, Hay Galleria, London Eye, Tate Modern, Hay Galleria, HMS Belfast, The shard, London bridge and Tower bridge. BY underground it is easy to get to simply take underground station Waterloo. :)

to solve river crossing problems
It has the same purpose as most bridges, ie to allow people and traffic to cross an obstacle, in this case, the river Thames.

The River Thames (pronounced temz).
