Sail Bridge
Sail Bridge is one of two new pedestrian/cycle bridges which form an integral part of the strategy to link the new SA1 Swansea Waterfront development with the existing Maritime Quarter and city centre. The bridge measures 142 metres long, weighs a total of 292 tonnes and features a vast 40 metre high mast. The central pier, sunk deep into the riverbed, anchors the mast in position. The sweeping design of the bridge with its curved deck, inclined central mast and radiating cables, resembles a yacht’s rigging and creates an impressive ‘sail like’ appearance linking the banks of the River Tawe. The design for the bridge was drawn up by Wilkinson Eyre Architects and the Flint & Neill Partnership, internationally renowned engineers. Wilkinson Eyre were part of the design team responsible for the famous ‘winking eye’ bridge at Gateshead and have also designed the new National Waterfront Museum which will be built at the nearby Maritime Quarter.
