The £20.3m Finnieston Bridge is a dramatic new landmark for Glasgow, featuring a central arch span which crosses the river at an angle between the roundabout atBroomielaw/Finnieston Street and the south side of the river.
The bridge accommodates four lanes; two dedicated to public transport and two for private and commercial traffic, with additional pedestrian and cyclist paths. It has a main span of 96m (314.9ft) with two end spans of 36.5m (119.7ft).
Gordon Routledge, managing director at Dialight Lumidrives says: "LEDs provide a superb lighting effect for the bridge. What's more, the LED power consumption of the light arch is only 96W whereas lighting by traditional sources would require around 500W. LEDs are therefore extremely energy efficient, long lasting and require virtually no maintenance."
