- TheShisTel Aviv, Israel42,755 contributionsThis is a beautiful bridge over the river Clyde.
It's crossable for both vehicles and pedestrians and it provides some lovely views of the architecture on its banks.Written 4 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is pedestrian and bicycle only.
Definitely a good place to get some photos.Written 18 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Kingston Bridge is a well-known part of the M8 motorway in Glasgow and the busiest bridge in Europe, carrying over 150k cars everyday over the River Clyde. The bridge is a singled arched bridge spanning the entire 150m width of the river.
It's also vehicle bridge only and I've driven over it many times. Unless your car has broken down, you're likely to be paying attention to the motorway than admiring the views. The bridge isn't much to look at even when walking along the river as it's little more than a giant and plain concrete bridge.Written 1 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The weight of my travels bore down upon me, alas once I crossed the bridge inlet out a deep sigh and the weight was lifted.Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK1,86,708 contributionsThe St Andrew’s Suspension Bridge is a bridge that links the south bank of the River Clyde near Tradeston and Gorbals with Glasgow Green on the north bank. It looks a lot like the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge further to the west, except for the two entrances. Both the ends of the bridge have an entrance with a Neoclassical arch of four Corinthian columns supporting a decorative roof. Since the refurbishment in the early 2000s, the bridge has been painted in a fetching dark blue colour. This bridge is a nice way to cross into Glasgow Green if you’re in this part of the city, and the views of the River Clyde are nice too.Written 23 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK1,86,708 contributionsThis is a somewhat innocuous looking bridge in Kelvingrove Park. It’s a short single elliptical arch bridge across the River Kelvin and a useful shortcut from the western entrances of the park into the interior of Kelvingrove. Built in the late 20th century, it’s very much a Victorian style stone bridge and one of the central features of Kelvingrove as the two ends of the bridge stand monuments. On the western end is a monument to Thomas Carlyle, while the eastern end is a monument to the Highland Light Infantry Regiment. I seem to remember the bridge used to have beautiful lights on the balustrades, but there’s no light anymore and only the pretty iron cast light fittings remain. It’s a popular spot for taking photos as the bridge is quite low with full view of the river below.Written 7 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
