On Monday afternoon, June 1, the EIL students joined by Professors Berry and Dickerson, visited London's Tower Bridge. This infamous bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule, suspension, and, until 1960, cantilever bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel. The students experienced the two high-level walkways with breath-taking panoramic views of east and west London from 42 meters above the River Thames. They were also able to explore the Victorian engine rooms that once powered the mighty bridge lifts for over 80 years. This is a new venue for the Engineering in London program.
