LandmarkItchen Bridge
Érigé en 1977 pour remplacer le célèbre ferry flottant, cet imposant ouvrage d'art en caisson creux enjambe l'estuaire de la rivière Itchen à Southampton sur près de 800 mètres. Culminant à 28 mètres de hauteur, ce colosse de béton et d'acier de 62 000 tonnes relie la route A3025 au cœur de la cité portuaire. À la tombée de la nuit, il s'illumine d'une canopée de lumières bleues basse consommation, visibles à plus de huit kilomètres à la ronde depuis le plan d'eau. Derrière sa silhouette élancée et son rôle éminemment stratégique, l'édifice traîne également une triste réputation, s'étant tragiquement forgé une sinistre notoriété au fil des décennies en raison du nombre alarmant de suicides qui y ont été recensés.
