Govan Partick footbridge – still being installed

Not sure when it will be completed (there were some boards up months ago, which gave May as the projected date, but I think they’re gone now), I did catch this pic of the new bridge, still in its open position as the approaches are being created.

It was a handy coincidence of catching the first section of the new Renfrew Yoker road bridge about the same time, as I hadn’t been aware of just how different the two were, but this pic provides an easy comparison between the two.

If I’d had to rely on my memory, I’d have got this completely wrong.

They may be similar bridge types, but are significantly different.

The Renfrew bridge:

And the Govan bridge:

I should pay more attention 🙂
