Prince's Dock Footbridge - Liverpool, UK

Architect	Eduard Ross with Ian Wroot and Arup
Date Built	2001
Location	Prince's Dock, Liverpool
Description
The "Happy Pontist" blog describes the bridge well as, "a very unusual, assymetrical design, comprising a steel wishbone arch spanning 30m, supported at one end on curved rib members, T-shaped in cross-section, with a bowstring tie hidden behind perforated cladding panels. The ribs also support the bridge deck."  The bridge bears a striking resemblance to the ribcage of a whale.
