Forthside Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Stirling, Scotland.
Forthside Bridge is a pedestrian crossing in Stirling that spans above the railway station area. It features steel supports with cable systems and laminated glass panels along the sides, with lifts and stairs positioned at both ends for easy access.
The bridge was completed in 2009 as part of Stirling's broader redevelopment of the railway station area. This construction modernized the connection between the transport hub and the surrounding neighborhoods.
The bridge serves as a daily crossing point for locals commuting between the station and surrounding neighborhoods. For visitors, it functions as a practical gateway connecting the transport hub to the rest of the city.
Both ends of the bridge have lifts and stairs for convenient access. The glass panels provide clear views and lighting when crossing, making navigation straightforward.
The bridge employs a specialized truss system with asymmetrical cantilevers that creates its distinctive twisting form. It spans seven railway tracks simultaneously, demonstrating an inventive engineering solution for crossing the complex railway infrastructure.
