Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian footbridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow that links the SEC Centre on the north bank with the Glasgow Science Centre and Pacific Quay development to the south. The structure features a modern steel design and creates a direct passage across the water for visitors moving between these riverside areas.

The bridge was built around the turn of the millennium with funding from the Millennium Commission and marks Glasgow's transformation of its riverside. Its completion was part of wider regeneration efforts that reshaped how the city uses the water's edge.

The steel bridge creates a direct path between entertainment venues, educational facilities, and media centers, forming a link in Glasgow's cultural infrastructure.

The footbridge offers an easy walking route between the northern and southern sections of Glasgow's riverside developments and provides direct access to museums, exhibition spaces, and entertainment venues. The pedestrian path is open and straightforward to navigate with good views of the river throughout.

The bridge remains in a fixed position, which means larger water vessels cannot pass underneath its structure. This design choice reflects a deliberate trade-off between providing pedestrian access and maintaining river navigation possibilities.
