It was originally constructed in 1988 as a temporary link for the Garden Festival, connecting the SECC (Scottish Event Campus Centre) site to the southern bank of the Clyde.
The bridge, equipped with a swinging mechanism to accommodate passing ships, was initially under the ownership of Scottish Enterprise. However, it was later transferred to the city council.
It forms a key part of NCN 7, a long distance cycle route connecting Sunderland with Inverness.

simply an architectural masterpiece...
unfortunately, we didn't see the bridge being swung open to allow boat passage.
