Kelvinbridge, Category A listed road bridge in West End, Glasgow, United Kingdom.
The cast iron bridge spans across River Kelvin with two main sections of 91 feet each, featuring Gothic tracery and decorated spandrels.
Bell & Miller designed the structure in 1891 for £52,000, replacing an 1840 stone bridge to accommodate increased traffic and tram operations.
The bridge displays three coats of arms on its fascias, representing Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and Hillhead, illustrating the territorial divisions of that period.
The structure carries the A82 Great Western Road over the River Kelvin, connecting different parts of Glasgow with both vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths.
Walter Macfarlane & Co supplied the decorative iron elements while Sir William Arrol & Co provided the iron arches and steel girders for the construction.
