St.Andrew's Suspension Bridge

This suspension bridge was built 1854-1855 to replace the  busy ferry conveying workers from Bridgeton and Calton to Hutchesontown. It is a wrought iron structure with a single span of 67 metres. It was repaired in 1871 and 1905 with major structural repairs and refurbishment undertaken between 1996 - 98  by Glasgow City Council, Roads and Transportation  ( Partially funded by the European Union ) Doesn't it look splendid!
