Great Britain, London, Millennium Bridge, a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians overpass the River Thames in London, located between the Southwark Bridge & the Blackfriars Railway Bridge, connecting Bankside with the City of London.
The construction began in 1998 & opened in June 2000. The nickname for the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge". On opening day the bridge was crisscrossed by around 90.000 people, with up to 2.000 on the bridge at any one time. After pedestrians felt unforeseen vacillating motion, the vibrational modes had not been anticipated by the designers. On opening day the bridge was closed later & after two days of restricted admittance, closed for almost two years while adjustments were made to eradicate the motion & reopened in 2002.
The problem was fixed by the retrofitting of 37 energy dissipating dampers to control horizontal movement and 52 inertial dampers to control vertical movement.
