One of Glasgow's busiest pedestrian bridges is set to close tomorrow to allow for one of Scotland's most iconic ships to pass by it.

The Govan Footbridge will close to foot and cycle traffic in two spurts on Sunday, August 16, firstly from 9.50am to 10.20am and then from 6.15pm to 8.15pm.

The closure is necessary to allow for the passage of the PS Waverley, former UK National Flagship of the year.

The bridge connects the west end to Glasgow's industrial southside, offering easy access to day trippers and commuters alike.

Alternative travel can be made via Glasgow's Subway to and from the nearby Govan station, or by the Clyde Tunnel's pedestrian path.
