Glasgow canal path reopens after 2 years as new £13.5m bridge nears completion

A section of the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath in North Glasgow will reopen today ahead of the completion of the new Stockingfield Bridge.

The 500m stretch of canal path from Stockingfield Junction to Ruchill Street has been closed for the past two years to allow construction of the iconic new active travel bridge - which is on schedule to open this autumn.

The £13.7m bridge, which features a curved design with a viewing platform, will connect the communities of Maryhill, Gilshochill and Ruchill for the first time since the waterway's opening in 1790.
