Glasgow's newest bridge which recently opened is set to be closed for three nights.
The Govan-Partick bridge will be shut for three days to allow testing to take place from Monday, September 9.
The footbridge, which links the Southside to the West End across the River Clyde, was formally opened on Friday, September 6.
Following that, it was opened to the public on Saturday, September 7, at 10am.
However, only days after its opening, the local authority has said the £29.5 million structure will be shut for several nights.
The closures will be in place to allow final testing of the power supply of the bridge to be conducted.
Due to this, members of the public won't be able to access it from 7pm until 2am on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: "To allow final testing of the power supply and to minimise disruption, the Govan - Partick Bridge will be closed from 7pm until 2am over the next three nights (Monday to Wednesday)."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
