Anderston Footbridge (former bridge to nowhere)
This bridge was built when the M8 motorway north of the Kingston Bridge was built in the early 1970s. Until 2013 it was known as one of the "bridges to nowhere" (some pedestrian, some road) in this area which were never completed LinkExternal link .

This one was completed by Sustrans in July 2013, under their Connect2 scheme. It now provides a safe crossing of the M8 motorway from the city centre to the West End, linking up with cycle friendly routes at both sides.
