Finnieston Bridge

Overall aerial view of complex, showing grass roofs, looking south across Calton Rd., New Street on the left; A road bridge spanning the River Clyde, connecting Finnieston, near the Clyde Auditorium and SECC with Pacific Quay and Glasgow Science Centre in Govan. A prominent feature of the bridge is its innovative curved design and the way that it crosses the river at an angle. The Arc is the first city center traffic crossing over the river built since the Kingston Bridge was opened to traffic in 1969. The bridge was designed by the Halcrow Group and built by Kilsyth-based civil engineering company Edmund Nuttall. The bridge has a main span of 96 m with two end spans of 36.5 m (total 169 m). The design of the main span features a single steel arch that crosses the bed of the bridge. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/6/2012
