Adobe StockThe Kingston Bridge in Glasgow, which carries the M8 over the River Clyde, is 55 years old.
The bridge was recognised with listed status at category C by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) for its special architectural and historic interest five years ago.
At 270m long, and 40m wide, it is a key part of Scotland’s transport network and is one of the busiest bridges in Europe.
The famous Glasgow landmark was opened on the 26 June 1970 by the Queen Mother following just over three years of construction at a cost of £11m, which is the equivalent of £180m today.
