Govan-Partick Bridge

Glasgow

The Partick to Govan Footbridge, officially known as the Govan-Partick Bridge, is a significant pedestrian and cycle bridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow. It connects Water Row in Govan to Pointhouse Quay near the Riverside Museum in Partick. This bridge is part of a £29.5 million project funded by the Scottish and UK Governments under the Glasgow City Region City Deal.

The bridge features two spans: a moving span, which is 99 meters long and weighs 650 tonnes, and a fixed span, which is 15.7 meters long and weighs 45 tonnes. It is one of the longest opening pedestrian and cycle bridges in Europe. The bridge enhances connectivity between communities and key locations, such as the University of Glasgow's Gilmorehill campus and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The project also included improvements to the surrounding areas, such as new quay walls, public realm enhancements, and lighting. The bridge officially opened to the public on September 7, 2024, with community celebrations on both sides of the Clyde.
