Glasgow City Council has opened a new pedestrian and cycle crossing as part of a £33M regeneration project in Tradeston.

Tradeston Bridge spans more than 106m and is a key part of the area’s development programme. The £6M structure was built using funding secured on the basis of the future investment it will encourage on both sides of the river.

Council leader Steven Purcell said: ‘The Tradeston Bridge and the wider scheme to develop new public places will act as a catalyst for future regeneration of the Tradeston area.

‘It is important that the public purse continues to invest in the city’s infrastructure at this difficult time to bolster Glasgow’s economy and pave the way for future development along the Clyde waterfront.’
