context_page_description: The Media City Footbridge is a swing-mechanism footbridge over the Manchester Ship Canal near MediaCityUK. It is an asymmetric cable-stayed swing bridge and was completed in 2011.
  It was designed by Gifford and Wilkinson Eyre.
  The pedestrian bridge links MediaCityUK with the Imperial War Museum North on Trafford Wharf. It weighs 450 tonnes, and has two spans of 65 and 18 metres. It swings through 71 degrees to give a 48-metre navigation channel. The deck of the bridge is an orthotropic steel box. The bridge is supported by eight tapered steel fanned masts. It was built by Balfour Beatty, with the steel fabrication by Rowecord Engineering of Newport, South Wales.
  The swing mechanism is built on a reinforced concrete caisson foundation of 13 metres diameter. Above the water it is 7.3 metres in diameter.
