Steel spider hangs over bridge with glowing eyes
A bridge in Sheffield, home to three larger than life eight - legged insects, will be beaming brighter this winter thanks to Streets Ahead.
Cobweb bridge also known as Spider Bridge, due to three huge steel spiders that lurk beneath the viaduct, has recently undergone a lighting re-fit.
Popular with walkers, runners and cyclists alike, the bridge, which is part of the Five Weirs Walk, a 4.5-mile marked footpath along the River Don in Sheffield, was built in an unusual S-shape suspended on wires from beneath one of the viaduct’s arches.
It is also the only bridge in Sheffield that can boast two different types of temperature LED floodlights, which are not only brighter, but help to illuminate the spiders' striking eyes to contrast with the up-lighting of the Sheffield viaduct bridge above.
