New Glasgow bridge chosen

BBC

The shape of the latest bridge to cross the River Clyde has been decided by Glasgow City Council. The winner of the competition is architect Richard Rogers with his design for a curved crossing called Neptune's Way. The new £40m pedestrian bridge will span the river between the waterfront regeneration areas of Tradeston and Broomielaw. Six design teams were chosen to take part in a competition to create a new crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, with the public allowed a say on which effort they liked most.
