  • Abstract
    "A MORE ABSURD structure than the Tower Bridge was never thrown across a strategic river," wrote artist Sir Frank Brangwyn, referring to the most famous bascule bridge in the world. In fact, Tower Bridge is a fusion of three bridges, two of the suspension category emerging from the north and south banks of London\´s River Thames, with a central span comprising two leaves, or \´bascules\´, that can be raised to allow high-masted ships to pass.
