Event organised by ICE
Funded through the Glasgow City Region City Deal, the Govan - Partick Footbridge Project consists of the construction of a 6-metre-wide, 3-span, cable stayed opening bridge with an inclined inverted V shaped pylon.
There will be two piled piers either side of the navigation channel which will have a clear span of 50 metres for any river traffic.
This is being delivered by Farrans (contractor), Jacobs (design team) and Glasgow City Council (client).
The visit will consist of an indoor presentation of the project. This will be followed by a guided walk at Pointhouse Quay by the site engineers.
Registration for this event is limited to 20.
The site can be easily accessed by public transport by taking the subway/train to Partick Station which is around an 10-minute walk or taking the local buses in the area. There is also a car park at the Riverside Museum for those who would like to drive.
