An unfinished pedestrian bridge in the centre of Glasgow crossing the M8, close to Anderson station.
The Anderston footbridge (some 1km south of the Charing Cross Podium) was originally planned as the main pedestrian connection between Glasgow city centre and the Anderston district, where a large enclosed shopping centre was under construction. The eastern end of the bridge was planned to link into an elevated shopping centre, which was never built, and the bridge has ended abruptly some 40 feet above a car park ever since.
As a highly visible structure, it became widely known as the 'Bridge to Nowhere' after the Charing Cross Podium was built on and lost its bridge-like appearance.
A current proposal by charity Sustrans, called Connect2, aims to finish the construction, as well as connecting the half-finished bridge with a second one over the Clydeside Expressway. This aims to improve pedestrian and cycle access in central Glasgow, by introducing a pedestrian and cycle crossing between the former Glasgow docks and the city centre.
A pen/pencil will be required as cache is quite small.
