Millennium Link
Millennium Link was a very ambitious project having the purpose of reducing navigability in Scotland on the historical Forth&Clyde Canal and on Union Canal. The project was also very challenging due to the fact that Forts&Clyde Canal is situated 35 m below the Union Canal. It was necessary to replace the flight of 11 locks that originally connected the two canals, and find a different new method to connect them. Therefore, the spectacular Falkirk Wheel was the response to this demand, being the world’s first and only rotating boat lift. .
