The new Glasgow bridge will connect the city to the north
The development — to be known as Sighthill Bridge — is part of the £250 million regeneration of the area, which includes over 800 homes.
Its main span is made of Cor-Ten Steel, which the council has said will result in lower maintenance costs, and it has been designed to reflect the area’s industrial heritage and the front of the local St Martin’s Primary School campus. Children from the school helped to name the bridge. “We might not be able to go quite that far in Glasgow, although I would personally be in favour of it. We do still need to have those connections and people being able to move around.
Karen McGregor, Scotland director and Sustrans, said the bridge is a “significant achievement” which provides people in Sighthill with a “direct link into the city centre, giving them access to employment opportunities and all the amenities.”
