The Millennium Bridge The Millennium Bridge is a
bridge over the River Thames.
People like walking over it
because there is no traffic on
it. It's 144 m long. The bridge
has got the nickname —
'Wobbly Bridge'. When it first
opened in 2000, thousands
of people who walked across
felt a gentle movement underfoot. The bridge was closed, the
problem fixed and it was reopened on 2 February 2002. In the
film Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Lord Voldemort's
Death Eaters try to destroy the bridge and after some twisting, it
collapses into the Thames. Luckily, that was just a film!
