The Millenium footbridge, lilke most Millenium projects completed after the 2000, some will argue yes that is correct as the Millenium did not really start until 2001. The bridge cost GBP4.2 million and was funded as a Millenium Project. The bridge is a pedestrtian and bicycle bridge and for those that are into construction details and information like who designed it and who the main contractors on the project were visit "structurae" website.
For those that are interested in looking at it there are several approaches, the most scenic is to walk along either riverbank from Skeldergate Bridge following the flow of the river downstream, depending on which side of the river you take you will either go via Blue Bridge or pass the Caravan site and Rowntree Park. Other approaches would be from the A19 Fulford Road down Hospital Fields Road or Maple Grove, from the South side the approach would be via Bishopthorpe Road and Butcher Terrace.
