The Govan-Partick Bridge is a new bridge in Glasgow, Scotland, to carry pedestrians and bicycles across the River Clyde, connecting Water Row in Govan to Pointhouse Quay in Partick, close to the Riverside Museum. To allow ships to pass by, its swing bridge main span can rotate to align with the south shore. The official opening ceremony on 6 September 2024 was followed by public access from the next day, when crowds celebrated with community events on both sides of the river. The 110-metre (361-foot) bridge with its 8 m (26 ft) wide deck has step-free access, to carry bicycles, pedestrians, wheelchairs and buggies between Govan south of the river and Partick to the north. The V-shaped pylon design is inspired by the historic cranes at the riverside. It is one of the largest opening footbridges in Europe.
