Glasgow ~ Kingston Bridge ~ GLASGOW M8 ~ Glasgow Sights ~ Expressway
South to West end.
The Kingston Bridge (Scots: Kingstoun Brig) is a balanced cantilever dual-span ten lane road bridge made of triple-cell segmented prestressed concrete box girders crossing the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. The largest urban bridge in the United Kingdom, it carries the M8 motorway through the city centre. The Kingston Bridge is also one of the busiest road bridges in Europe, carrying around 150,000 vehicles every day.[1][2]The name of the bridge referred to the erstwhile Kingston Dock which was located on the south bank of the river. It had been completed in 1867 between Windmillcroft Quay and the former headquarters of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society on Morrison Street in Tradeston, adjacent to where the bridge now stands. It was Glasgow's first enclosed dock. The dock was eventually closed to navigation in 1966, when work began on the construction of the Kingston Bridge, and the basin was subsequently in-filled and apartments built on the site. At the time of construction however the Clyde Port Authority still insisted that the bridge have a clearance height of 18 m (60 ft) in order to allow dredgers to go upstream as far as the King George V Bridge. The bridge was designed by William Fairhurst and built by Logan-Marples Ridgway.
Location[edit]
The A814 Clydeside Expressway snakes along the edge of the north bank of the River Clyde. It is a non-trunk road and provides a bypass of Glasgow's west end. At its western end it connects with the north portal of the A739 Clyde Tunnel, while in the east it meets the M8 at Junction 19 to the north of the Kingston Bridge.

If you're thinking about booking the Erskine Bridge, here are 6 reasons to book…
1. It's 10 minutes from the airport by taxi.
2. Being slightly further from the airport means this hotel costs less than if you stayed on the airport grounds. In fact, the Erskine Bridge is often one of our cheapest hotels at Glasgow.
3. The rooms are simple and comfortable, with an en-suite bathroom, a TV and all you need to make tea and coffee. There’s free, basic wifi, or you can upgrade to high speed for £5.
4. It’s our only hotel at Glasgow with a pool. There’s also a steam room, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a gym. It feels a bit more leisurely than your typical airport hotel. It’s on the banks of the River Clyde, on 18 acres of parkland.
5. The restaurant serves reasonably priced meals. A main will cost around £13. You’ll find everything from steaks and burgers, to fajitas and seafood.
6. Save £2.95 per person when you book breakfast in advance with us. It’s a traditional Scottish and continental buffet, so you can eat as much as you like.

Drilling boreholes at the UK Geoenergy Observatories in Glasgow
Hugh Barron and Professor Zoe Shipton talk about drilling the first UK Geoenergy Observatories borehole in Glasgow, and collecting the core material.
Drilling, coring and sampling in Glasgow is all part of the project to realise the UK Geoenergy Observatories. The UK Geoenergy Observatories are being delivered by the BGS for the whole of the UK science community to conduct important research that will improve our knowledge of the underground environment.
The Glasgow observatory will look at the chemistry, physics and biology in and above the flooded mine workings below the east end of the city, looking at how heat of the mine water might be used as a renewable energy source and support decarbonisation of the UK energy systems and towns and cities built on coal across the globe.

Clyde Arc, Glasgow (Scotland) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Clyde Arc in Glasgow, Scotland - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Designed to last 120 years, the Clyde Arc Bridge in Glasgow, Scotland has been standing since 2006.
Locally monikered the Squinty Bridge, this bridge accommodates 4 lanes of traffic as well as having a pedestrian walkway.
The bridge spans a total of 169 meters, crossing over the River Clyde at a pronounced angle.
Much of the bridge was built on a floating barge, while some pieces were constructed elsewhere and then shipped to the site.
The Clyde Arc is supposedly the first step in a regeneration project for the areas on either side of the river.
Its unique curved design has made for structural problems in the past, but it stands strong today.
