In 2004, London built a bridge that curls itself into a circle instead of lifting; eight connected sections fold away to let boats through

The Rolling Bridge in Paddington Basin redefines traditional bridge architecture by transforming into a circular form. Completed in 2004 by Heatherwick Studio, it employs hydraulic systems for its unique movement. This ingenious design accommodates passing boats while providing a useful walkway for pedestrians. The project represents a creative solution to urban challenges and highlights the potential of public infrastructure to embody artistic values.
