The only working bridge of its kind in England. For queries relating to Tees Transporter Bridge operating times and new HLF supported Visitor Experience please contact [email protected] or 01642 727265. The Tees Transporter Bridge is a unique structure dominates the Middlesbrough skyline and was originally designed to allow tall ships to pass underneath. It is the largest working transporter bridge in the world and a landmark symbol of Middlesbrough's engineering and industrial might. It has also appeared in film and television and was the first bridge in England to offer bungee jumps.
