Polmadie Bridge

The Polmadie Bridge is a footbridge that crosses the River Clyde, Glasgow, Scotland[1] between Glasgow Green (the Flesher's Haugh area which is largely football pitches) to its north, and Oatlands (at the west side of Richmond Park) to its south.

[2][3] The replacement bridge, being four feet (1.2 metres) narrower than its predecessor, was constructed in 1954–1955, made from prestressed concrete.

[5] Press Reports dated 16 July 2015 indicated the bridge was to be demolished – leaving concrete piers, and allowing restrictions on the stretch of river to be removed.

Work to remove the bridge deck, leaving the concrete piers in place, began in October 2015.

[9] Construction of the new bridge began in late 2017, with the initial £1.3 million cost[10] funded by the local authority augmented by an additional £500,000 from the sustainable transport charity Sustrans.
