A Glasgow bridge is currently closed to pedestrians "until further notice".

The Govan to Partick bridge has been shut after suffering from "technical problems".

Operators announced at around 11pm last night that the key artery which runs over the River Clyde will be closed until further notice.

No further information has been released.

Mirren Marine, the bridge's operators, have been contacted for an update.

The £29.5 million project, which began in April 2022 and is funded by the Scottish and UK governments, reconnected the two communities of Partick and Govan as well as providing access to a number of visitor attractions and forming part of the city’s active travel route.

It is one of the longest pedestrian and cycle bridges in Europe, with a width of six metres.

It has two spans – the moving span, which weighs 650 tonnes and is 99 metres long, and the fixed span, which weighs 45 tonnes and is 15.7 metres long.
