Humpback Bridge repairs completed

This year, there has been significant investment in bridges over the River Kelvin. The substantial repairs to preserve the Humpback Bridge have been completed. This has transformed the appearance of the ironwork at the bridge and enhanced the views along the Kelvin Walkway.

This bridge is a vital link between North Kelvinside and the Botanic Gardens for pedestrians. I hope the improvements to the bridge will encourage more people to take part in health walks and reduce barriers to access the area along the Kelvin Walkway by foot.
