Swan Canopy Bridge over the Forth and Clyde Canal, Clyde Shopping Centre, Clydebank

Swan Canopy Bridge over the Forth and Clyde Canal, Clyde Shopping Centre, Clydebank
The canopy spans 40m, cantilevering 20m on either side of the central supports. The fabric is PTFE coated glass fibre, which is the same material used to cover the O2 Arena, and is stretched over a series of arches to form the wings of a swan. Each wing is supported by steel arms springing from four steel legs spread either side of the bridge. Quoted from the Build Scotland website

I can see how it gets its name Joe. A clever design, which I like. Was there always a canopy over this bridge? Cheers, Rosa.

You can see the old canopy here. The old canopy wasn't as attractive as the new one, but, when it was raining, it would keep you dry all the way, when crossing from one part of the shopping centre to the other. Cheers, Joe
