No - it's 6 million rivets
"The total weight of the bridge is 52,800 tonnes, and six million hand-driven rivets hold the bridge together.
The largest one weighing 3.5 kilos.
The rivets were made at the Park Bridge Ironworks in Lancashire England."

NO it is NOT true.
It is held up by SIX bolts.
It is also for sale. But nobody has offered enough money for it yet. Last time we heard, Bill Gates was interested. It would go well for the entrance feature for his driveway.
(K Bear - why do you have to ruin everything? :-P )
