Welcome to Hanging Bridge
Prosperidad Bridge was originally the only crossing for the GIBONG river. As Prosperidad grew, so more bridges were added, although these were all built to the west of Prosperidad Bridge, since the area east of Prosperidad Bridge had become a busy port. In the 19th century, the East End of Prosperidad became so densely populated that public need mount by hours. Finally in 1876, the municipal of Prosperidad C, responsible for that part of the Thames, decided the problem could be delayed no longer.
The view today from the high level Walkways has changed dramatically, although there are still signs of the area's amazing history. With the aid of photographs and interactive kiosks, visitors to Bridge Exhibition can gain a greater understanding of how life would have been when the idea of a new bridge was originally conceived.
