Bridge General Information
Just to re-assure all those who were wondering, Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge is here to stay.
Despite all the efforts of the cast of Auf Wiedersehen Pet, the bridge remains the focal point of the River Tees. The TV show, which has become an instant hit, shows the Transporter Bridge being disassembled and sent to Arizona in America. The people behind the programme obviously did a very good job on the computers as many Teessiders thought their beloved bridge was on its way across the Atlantic. However we won't be saying 'Auf Wiedersehen' to our bridge for a few more years yet.
