This bridge could transform life in a historic Glasgow district

Lift 10 may not be a household name in Glasgow but it has played a small yet significant part in our recent history – it was the crane that lowered into position the soon-to-be-opened bridge at the confluence of the Clyde and Kelvin rivers. The link is more than just a pedestrian and cycle route – it is a symbol of new connections across the city. In particular, the bridge will make it easier to join up the academic powerhouse that is the university of Glasgow and Govan, with its innovation zone and enormous development potential.
