Overview

Join the ICE Glasgow and West of Scotland Early Careers Network for a trail that takes you on a journey through Glasgow City centre, along the bridges of the River Clyde, from the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge to the newly constructed Swivelly Bridge connecting Partick to Govan.

Led by two practising engineers, the walk offers insights into the historical significance and structural design of each bridge encountered. From heritage structures to modern engineering solutions, each crossing tells a part of Glasgow’s story.

The event also provides the opportunity for you to meet and network with fellow engineering professionals.
