The Tees Transporter Bridge,
Teeside, Northern England The bridge, opened in 1911, crosses the River Tees between the towns of Port Clarence and Middlehaven. The bridge carries a travelling ‘car’, or 'gondola’, suspended below the fixed structure, across the river in 90 seconds. The gondola can carry 200 people, nine cars, or six cars and one minibus. The bridge has not been operational since 2019 and it is not expected to return to operation for a number of years. Wikipedia (edited)
