Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The bridge to nowhere is a nickname given to two unfinished structures over the M8 motorway in Glasgow. Both attracted a degree of notoriety as examples of the incompleteness of the Glasgow Inner Ring Road. One has since been completed as an office block, and the other remains unfinished almost forty years after the opening of the Kingston Bridge. It is something of an urban myth that this structure, which has the official title of the Charing Cross Podium, was ever intended as a bridge. Regardless of its physical appearance, it was always intended to have a development of some sort on the top level. When the western flank of the inner ring road was being prepared for tender in the mid-1960s the designer, Scott Wilson & Partners, advised Glasgow Corporation to include the development as part of the motorway construction contract. This advice was ignored with the Corporation hoping that a developer would take the project, along with costs, on themselves.
