Rolling Bridge

Rolling Bridge

The Rolling Bridge is located in Paddington Basin, London. Built in 2004 as part of the Grand Union Canal Office, as its name suggests, this is a truly unique bridge — indeed, it is a telescopic and extendable bridge.

The Rolling Bridge was designed by British architect Thomas Heatherwick and consists of eight triangular sections, totaling 12 meters in length. The magic of the bridge lies in the fact that it usually functions as an ordinary steel pedestrian bridge, but when a boat needs to pass through the canal, its distinctive eight-segment structure automatically curls up into a circle, allowing vessels to navigate smoothly. This innovative and bold design has amazed everyone and has become one of London’s top attractions, drawing visitors from around the world who come to see this remarkable telescoping bridge.
