London Bridge
The construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge,which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people,horses and carts. A “keep left” rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in restingly,that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City,the USA,as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.
Millennium Bridge
Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂)in sands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening,the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters,costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.
