McDowell + Benedetti has designed this 拢6.6m footbridge for Hull city centre to link up with a new civic quarter on the east bank of the river Hull.

Its pivoting design means that up to 1,000 pedestrians can remain on the bridge as it rotates 90掳 to allow river traffic to pass. Qualter Hall and Alan Baxter & Associates are engineering the project, and Pierse Contracting will start construction in February 2009.
