 Lord Norman Foster said it was challenging to have to keep the bridge closed for two years of repairs. He said the bridge is not made of materials that are going to corrode. So the length of closure is only a blip in the life of the bridge. A blip is a very short period of time. Now that the bridge has been made rigid, what do the pedestrians who walk across it think of it? Man:It’s like a carnival, everybody is just talking about the bridge, and the construction and the wind. We’ve not had a wobble yet, it doesn’t feel like jelly. Girl: It doesn’t wobble anymore. Older Woman: Well, I’m a bridge freak, and having not seen it before I came down especially to see it, and walking over, I thought it was rather beautiful to look at. It’s a bicycle-friendly, pedestrian-friendly bridge. There is, I’m afraid, in the wind, a slight vibration. But as somebody pointed out to me, if there weren’t a vibration at all we’d have to worry. Walking over it, it looks rather beautiful. French Man: Well it’s absolutely terrific. It’s my last day in London. I’ve been here in May last year, when it couldn’t open, and I couldn’t cross it. And today’s the last day. Look at that! So now people seem to like the Millennium Bridge.
