The original plan for this crossing was a two-span bridge similar to an existing adjacent structure. However, the high strength to weight ratio of steel meant that a single span was feasible. Avoiding the construction of a pier in the fast flowing tidal river minimised the cost, environmental impact and the [[Health and safety|health and safety]] risks for the workforce. The lightweight nature of steel minimised the loads on the piled foundations, and also facilitated [[Design for steel bridge construction#Bridge erection|erection]] using readily available cranage. This 61.5m single span [[Multi-girder composite bridges|multi-girder steel composite bridge]] is a key part of the regeneration of Glasgow's waterfront, and is believed to be the longest of its type ever built in the UK.
