Scope and Content Road Bridge over River Kelvin (Kelvin Bridge), Great Western Road, Glasgow The first-high-level bridge on this site was opened in 1836 as part of the Great Western Road, a new route into Glasgow City Centre from the north west, suitable for carriages, and replacing an old winding route along what are now North and South Woodside roads and a low-level bridge here. This shows the bridge which replaced the 1836 structure in 1889-91 to designs by Bell & Miller, engineers. Like their Partick Bridge of 1877-78 it has cast iron arches. In this case the arches support two large-diameter water mains as well as the carriageway. This view is from the south-east. Since this photograph was taken, the ground in the foreground, formerly part of Kelvinbridge Goods & Mineral Depot, has become the site of the surface building of Kelvinbridge Underground Station, with an escalator link to the deck of the bridge.
