Salford Quays Footbridge
Direct access to the Imperial War Museum
Also known as: Lowry Footbridge, Millennium Bridge
Lowry Plaze Footbridge, Salford M50 3RA, United Kingdom
Salford Quays Footbridge carries the M6 motorway over the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) three miles from Taunchester.
Early plans of what would become the Manchester Ship Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Cecil Smith in 1782 but problems with Southend Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Guildford Embankment during a thunderstorm.
