The Cody Dock Rolling Bridge is a moveable pedestrian bridge in London, England at Cody Dock. The bridge is manually rolled using winches to alternate between pedestrian and boat traffic. It crosses a channel that runs from River Lea to a nearby dock. It was designed by Thomas Randall-Page and Tim Lucas, and built by Cake Industries.[1] [2] [3]
The concept for a rectangular rolling frame came from an article titled Roads and Wheels by mathematician Stan Wagon and an interactive exhibit of square-wheeled of tricycles at the MoMath museum.[4] [5]
