Glasgow Bridge, Glasgow

The original bridge was completed in 1772, and was designed by William Mylne and built by civil engineer John Smeaton.

[1] Its seven-arch structure was honoured by Thomas Telford, the first president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, who replaced it in 1833[2] with a design built by John Gibb & Son for £34,000.

[4] Between 1895 and 1899 it was replaced with the current wider bridge which incorporated Telford's stonework and expanded the arches to accommodate larger ships.

Designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership, it was to be a curved, ramped deck bridge, using a cable stayed compression arch to provide an additional route from Broomielaw to Tradeston.

[citation needed] The Tradeston Bridge has since been built to serve this function.
