Curling bridge
A curling bridge, a new type of bridge designed by the innovative English designer Thomas Heatherwick, has recently (September 2004) been completed in London. This bridge consists of eight triangular sections hinged at the walkway level and connected above by two part links that may be collapsed toward the deck by hydraulic pistons. The bridge curls up to form an octagonal form on one side of the waterway spanned.
