The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is the furthest downstream bridge across the River Tees. It connects Middlesbrough on the south bank to Port Clarence on the north bank. It is a transporter bridge, carrying a travelling 'car' or 'gondola' suspended from the bridge, across the river in 90 seconds. The car can carry 200 people, 9 cars, or 6 cars and one minibus. It carries the A178 road from Middlesbrough to Hartlepool.
