Images show progress made on Govan-Partick footbridge currently under construction

New images show the significant progress made on the new pedestrian/cycle bridge connecting Partick and Govan across the River Clyde.

The £29.5 million construction project will see the bridge built between Water Row in Govan and Pointhouse Quay in Partick, re-establishing a historic link between the two areas. The work, which began in January of this year, is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
