Clyde Arc closed by cable 'snap'

The Clyde Arc bridge in the centre of Glasgow has been closed after one of
the support cables failed.


Part of the cable landed on the carriageway of the bridge, which joins Finnieston
with Kinning Park. There are no reports of anyone being injured.

Dubbed the "Squinty Bridge", it cost £20.3m and was opened to traffic in
September 2006 as part of the project to regenerate the banks of the Clyde.

Police shut the bridge after the incident on Monday night.

The bridge spans 140 metres and was designed by engineering consultancy
Halcrow. It was built by Kilsyth-based civil engineering contractor Edmund Nuttall Ltd.

---------------------------------------

Even the Kingston Bridge lasted longer than 16 months before it was in danger
of falling down...
