The pedestrian and cycle bridge opened earlier this month and took 21 months to complete at a cost of £14 million.
It connects the communities of Maryhill, Gilshochill and Ruchill on either side of the Forth & Clyde Canal for the first time since 1790.

ICE Scotland Director, Ben Westland, said: “Civil engineers are often the unsung heroes behind schemes that have a positive impact on local communities and Stockingfield Bridge is certainly one of those – linking communities again after more than 200 years.”
