Teesquay Millennium Footbridge is a footbridge crossing east–west over the River Tees between Stockton high street and Thornaby (Teesdale Business Park) in Northern England. It is just east of Stockton town centre and in the town's namesake borough.[1][2][3]
The bridge crosses the Teesdale Way cycle route, River Tees, and the A1035 Riverside Road. Funding for the bridge was from Stockton-on-Tees Council, the European Regional Development Fund, One NorthEast, and English Partnerships.[2]
Teesquay Millennium Footbridge is also referred to as the Millennium Bridge.
