Tower Bridge is a two-story collapsible bridge over the River Thames in London, United Kingdom.Over the years, the Tower Bridge has connected traffic on both sides of the city over the river in the British capital. It is named "Tower Bridge" because it is close to the Tower of London. The bridge, which was opened for use in 1894, is one of the most famous bascule bridge-type bridges. The Tower Bridge consists of two horizontal walkways at the high level and two towers connected by a carriageway from below.Over the years, the British capital needed an additional bridge across the river to connect traffic on both sides of the city, but the planned bridge between London Bridge and the Tower of London would block access to the port. In the end, two architects - Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry - found the perfect solution: a retractable bridge that allowed even the largest vessels to pass. As a result of the bridge project competition opened in 1876, Horace Jones bridge project was accepted in 1884.The construction of the Tower Bridge started in 1886 and took eight years. The bridge envisaged the construction of a bridge to the piers on both sides of the river, and the road between the bridges to be opened in two wings at an angle of 83°, allowing river traffic. At that time, the opening of the bridge wings was provided by a hydraulic mechanism. Today, an electric system is used instead of a hydraulic system.Please choose your desired Tower Bridge wallpaper and set it as a lock screen or home screen to give your phone an outstanding appearance.We are grateful for your great support and always welcome your feedback about Tower Bridge wallpapers.
