King's Bridge, Glasgow

The bridge links Hutchesontown to the west (left bank) and Glasgow Green to the east (right bank) near the city centre.

King's Bridge, which carries the A74, is the second such structure crossing the river at that point.

[1] The current, wider version was built in 1933 and has four 21-metre spans containing a series of rivetted steel plate girders which support the reinforced concrete bridge deck.

[2] With deep foundations, the piers divide at low level to create the arches.

The bridge is a low-level bridge and was built by the Sir William Arrol & Co. firm to a design by TPM Somers.
