Description

A new pedestrian bridge will provide a vital link between Tradeston on the south bank of the river and Glasgow’s International Financial Services District.

The bridge's design, by Scandinavian architects Dissing and Weitling, reflects Glasgow City Council's objectives to improve assessibility across the river and create a landmark waterfront structure.  The sinuous double curve creates a wave like structure across the river.

It is hoped the new bridge will act as a catalyst for investment, promote confidence in the city and have a fundamental role in the river’s regeneration. It will connect Tradeston and the International Financial Services District and provide a focus for activities and events, promoting Tradeston as a new urban quarter.

Cost

£6 million

Current status

Contractors have been appointed to design the bridge. Planning consent has been given.

Timescale

The bridge is scheduled for completion in May 2008
