This landmark bridge which is celebrating its 100th birthday is to host the Olympic torch during its two-day journey through Teesside.
Middlesbrough's 225ft (69m) high Transporter Bridge - a symbol of the area's industrial heritage - will host the flame on 18 June, Locog has said.
At around 06:30 BST, the torch will travel across the bridge, through Middlesbrough and then head to Redcar.
After a trip along the Esplanade the flame will be carried to Marske.
Throughout the morning crowds will welcome it on its journey through Saltburn, Brotton, Loftus, Hinderwell, and finally on to Whitby.
Thousands of torchbearers have been recruited for the flame's 70-day journey across the UK before the opening ceremony in London.
