Clyde Arc, Footbridge across River Clyde in Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Clyde Arc extends 96 meters over the River Clyde with a curved design that connects Finnieston near SEC Armadillo with Pacific Quay.
The bridge opened on September 18, 2006, marking the first traffic crossing in central Glasgow over the River Clyde since the Kingston Bridge in 1970.
Local residents named it the Squinty Bridge due to its angled crossing pattern, making it a recognizable part of Glasgow's modern architecture.
Four traffic lanes divide between public transport and private vehicles, while separate paths accommodate pedestrians and cyclists crossing the River Clyde.
During construction, workers used a floating barge on the Clyde for piling works while fabricating the superstructure at different locations.
