King's Bridge, Glasgow, Road bridge and category C listed building in Glasgow, United Kingdom
Kings Bridge spans the River Clyde with four 21-meter spans constructed of steel plate girders supporting a reinforced concrete deck.
Built in 1933 by Sir William Arrol & Co, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1901 that connected Hutchesontown to Glasgow Green.
The bridge stands as an example of infrastructure development during Glasgow's industrial growth, connecting residential districts to commercial areas.
The structure carries the A74 road across the River Clyde, providing an essential crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians in central Glasgow.
The bridge features deep foundations where piers divide at low level to create arches, making it a distinctive low-level crossing structure.
