Forth & Clyde Canal

The project involves a number of linked elements. The main ones being the redesign of the north canal bank environment and the replacement of the bridge canopy at Clydebank town centre with a design inspired by a swan in flight with cantilevering wing spans emerging from a central steel support. The public space was reconfigured, physical barriers removed and a greener, safer, more attractive environment, with improved linkages and opportunities to access the canal for recreation, created. Other elements involved the resurfacing of the towpath, installation of artwork, access, seating and signage improvements.To complement and inform the physical projects, a community involvement programme was established including consultation events and a canal focussed schools programme.
