dc.descriptionDetail, south side cable-stayed pedestrian bridge showing offset and attachment to pier of older railway bridge (left); London Eye visible at right; The Hungerford Bridge crosses the River Thames in London. It is a steel truss railway bridge (1864, sometimes known as the Charing Cross Bridge) comprising nine spans made of wrought iron lattice girders. It is flanked by two more recent, cable-stayed, pedestrian bridges that share the railway bridge's foundation piers, and which are named the Golden Jubilee Bridges (in honor of Queen Elizabeth II). The north end of the bridge is Charing Cross railway station. The south end is near Waterloo station, County Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, and the London Eye. Each pedestrian bridge has steps and lift (elevator) access. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/27/2015)en_US
