Reflections of the Squinty Bridge
About 7am this morning the sun was beaming down on the Clyde and the Clyde Arc aka the Squinty Bridge, Glasgow's first new road bridge across the river in 30 years. A lone seagull takes a shorter route.
Says Wikipedia…
The bridge connects Finnieston Street on the north bank of the river to Govan Road on the southern bank. The bridge takes four lanes of traffic, two of which are dedicated to public transport and two for private and commercial traffic. There are also pedestrian and cycle paths. The new bridge was built to provide better access to Pacific Quay and allow better access to regeneration areas on both banks of the Clyde. The bridge has been designed to cope with a possible light rapid transit system (light railway scheme) or even a tram system.
