The lead for this article includes:

The Salford Quays lift bridge or Salford Quays Millennium footbridge is a ... bridge spanning the Manchester Ship Canal ... It links Salford Quays to MediaCityUK ...

It has been a while since I last visited the area, but my recollection, confirmed to references to both Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, is that both Salford Quays and MediaCityUK are on the northern side of the Manchester Ship Canal, and therefore could not be linked by a bridge across said canal. The coordinates on the article do indeed correspond to a bridge crossing the canal, linking Salford Quays on the north bank (and in the city of Salford) with Trafford Wharf on the south bank (and in the Borough of Trafford). So something is definitely wrong with this article, and I suspect that it is the statement that it links Salford Quays to MediaCityUK.

Can anybody confirm this. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
