Description
The Clyde Arc Bridge is a combined road traffic and pedestrian bridge and crosses the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. The bridge links Finnieston Street on the north bank to Govan Road on the south bank.
The 800t bridge has a main span of 96m with two end spans of 36.5m (total 169m). The design of the main span features a steel bowstring asymmetric tied arch. The supports for the main span are located within the river with the abutments located behind the existing quay walls. The central navigation height at mean water height is 5.4m.
The bridge takes four lanes of traffic, two of which are dedicated to public transport (buses and taxis) and two for private and commercial traffic. There are also pedestrian and cycle paths.
The new bridge provides improved access to Pacific Quay and to the regeneration of areas on both banks of the Clyde.
