What kind of a bridge is the tower bridge?
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.
Was Tower Bridge an important landmark for London?
Tower bridge was, and still is, an important landmark. When the bridge was opened in 1894, it was the largest bridge of its kind and a sorely needed River Crossing for vehicles in the area. Due to the controversy of the bridge's design and construction, Tower Bridge bought sightseers from all around to view the "absurd" bridge that represented "the vice and tawdriness and prentiousness" according to critics. Throughout the years since, Tower Bridge has continued to serve as not only a convenient way to cross the Thames (with 40,000 people crossing each day), but also as a popular tourist attraction. The bridge is considered to be a symbol of London, featuring heavily in many London based TV shows and Movies.
