Car drives on footbridge in Glasgow A driver sparked disbelief after appearing to take a wrong turn and ending up driving across a Glasgow footbridge. ‌ The red car was filmed travelling onto the Anderston Footbridge, which crosses above the busy M8 motorway and links the city centre with the West End. Footage shows the motorist attempting to reverse as pedestrians look on in disbelief at the bizzare scene. ‌ One man can be seen stopping to speak to the driver before continuing on his way, while another pedestrian turns his head in disbelief as the car eventually heads back over the bridge. ‌ Eyewitness Chris Watt said he watched the bizarre incident unfold after the driver approached from Waterloo Street.

Parked for a bit. We were watching saying no way is he going to park there. Then he just carried on over the bridge!" ‌ The car travelled along the main span before apparently coming to a halt at the tight, curved descent towards Argyle Street on the other side. The car is understood to have been on the footbridge for around ten minutes. The footage shows the bemused pedestrians watching as the driver attempts to manoeuvre the vehicle before eventually turning around and retracing their route.

The bridge was famously dubbed the 'Bridge to Nowhere', with its western end left hanging around 40ft in the air. It was finally completed in 2013, providing a pedestrian and cycling link between the city centre and Anderston. Article continues below Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
