King's Bridge, Glasgow

King's Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland. The bridge links Hutchesontown and Glasgow Green in the city centre.

King's Bridge, which carries the A74 across the river, was built in 1933 and has four 21 metre spans containing a series of rivetted steel plate girders which support the reinforced concrete bridge deck. With deep foundations, the piers divide at low level to create the arches. The bridge is a low level bridge and was designed by TPM Somers.^[1]
