New Govan-Partick bridge installed over River Clyde in Glasgow

Built in Belgium, the bridge span is 6m (20ft) wide and was fabricated in two parts.

The moving span, which weighs 650 tonnes (650,000kg), is 99m (324ft) long and will use the South Pier (at Water Row) as its access. The fixed span weighs 45 tonnes (45,000kg) and is 15.7m (51ft) long.

Its deck will be 8m (26ft) wide – providing enough space for pedestrians and cyclists – and will offer “step-free” access for wheelchairs and buggies.

Headroom of nearly 5m (15ft) above the high-water line will allow smaller vessels to pass under the bridge when it is closed.

The swing bridge will take a few minutes to move to the open position and will allow larger vessels, including the Waverley paddle steamer, to pass through.
