Completed in 2002, its design solves a difficult problem: passing the riverside cycle- and footpath (the Five Weirs Walk) under the massive Wicker Arches viaduct while linking one bank of the River Don to the other. Without the Cobweb Bridge, the footpath would have had to make a one-mile detour. Designed by Sheffield City Council's Structures Section, the entire 100-metre-long bridge is suspended on a web of steel cables secured to the underside of the viaduct, hence the name. Completing the theme, large steel likenesses of spiders conceal the overhead lighting. While the bridge has been prone to vandalism in the past (the wires forming the parapet having been stolen more than once), the bridge was repaired in 2015 to reduce the risk of future vandalism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/SCC-Home/roads/works/schemes/cycle-schemes )〕 The newly restored bridge no longer uses wires in the parapet, having been replaced with metal plates with spiderweb designs. ==See also== For more unusual bridges see: List of bridges in the United Kingdom 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cobweb Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
