The construction phase of the new Stockingfield bridge across the Forth & Clyde Canal in North Glasgow is now complete and is on track to open to the public in September.

Representatives from Scottish Canals, Glasgow City Council and Sustrans joined Active Travel Minister Patrick Harvie MSP, as well as, residents to be the first to cross Stockingfield Bridge, which marks a significant milestone for the £13.7 million Places for Everyone project.

The bridge will connect the communities of Maryhill, Gilshochill, and Ruchill in North Glasgow for active travel via the Forth & Clyde Canal for the first time. It will also provide a convenient and accessible link from these communities to leisure and employment opportunities in the west end and city centre. For those walking, wheeling, or cycling beyond this, the new bridge will allow for smooth and continuous active travel route along the whole length of the canal.
