Indeed, also if you go down on the STV side of the bridge at the river, the bridge isn't high enough off the ground so that even I would have difficulty walking under it if it was open, and I'm 5'6.

Wasn't quite sure whether to post this in city shots or skylines, but it's mostly of the Kingston Bridge so here it is!

Ah'm going to regret asking this, but here goes...... I can see what it is but why - left over from the contractors? Anyway it's causing an obstruction. Get Strathclyde's Finest to have a word.
Also.... it wouldn't take tooo much effort to see if it floats :twisted:

Hope they've put it on Sauchiehall St. (with 50 clones) for Friday night!

I suspect it was actually the Turdis.

Glasgow Clyde arch

by **mr moto** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:10 am

i drove over the kingston bridge last night at about 10.00 pm, and was quite dissapointed to see that the new bridge,squinty/clyde arch... is not lit up at night at all well, i just supposed that they would make a real feature of the big white arch by having it lit up at night. so does anyone know if there are lights on the arch itself or are there any plans to light up the arch at night ?
i just think that if it were lit up, it become even more of a landmark structure than it already is .

It is lit up... there is LED projected light on the underside of the arch which switches from purple to red... there is also LED footlights

Its not overly bright because its right beside houses

Yes, Shadders, had a brief view tonight from the Central, It seemed to be lit up..

by **McShad** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 11:36 pm

Its impossible to light up the outside of the arch evenly unless they fit floodlights to buildings

You weren`t driving Eastbound and looking to your right by any chance, were you :?:

All this talk of lighting... and this morning, the lights tripped and went out sometime around 6
