Bell's Bridge

Bell's Bridge across the River Clyde in Glasgow

Constructed in 1988

to link the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre

with the Glasgow Garden Festival site.

It is named after the sponsor - Bell's Whisky.

two of which are suspended by cable stays

from a needle shaped pylon.

The cable-stayed spans can rotate horizontally

on the south pier to allow passage for larger vessels.
