M8 Harthill Pedestrian Bridge
The M8 Harthill footbridge is a landmark structure situated approximately halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, crossing Scotland’s busiest motorway. Connecting the M8 Motorway’s first ever service station to the town of Harthill, it replaces an existing overbridge that has fallen into a state of disrepair. The M8 is the main East-West corridor through Scotland with the Heart of Harthill Services providing a well known midway point. Several interesting sculptures line the route, the new structure will add to this providing an iconic gateway for motorway users passing from one side of the country to the other.

Buro Happold was commissioned to design a crossing in collaboration with John Pawson Architects, this project was completed in May 2006. Clear visual connections are established between the bridge and the repeating natural forms of its setting – the gently rounded contours of the land, the smooth expanse of water and the powerful vertical lines of the trees.
