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.

Sackler Crossing
The Sackler Crossing plots a serpentine path over the Lake at Kew Gardens. 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.

Riverside Museum
The new Riverside Museum, Scotland’s Museum of Transport and Travel, is located on a dramatic site at the point where two rivers, the Clyde and the Kelvin meet, close to Glasgow Harbour. As well as providing a permanent home for collections not previously on public display, the new museum exhibits the contents of the old Glasgow Museum previously held at Kelvin Hall. Kelvin Hall was the second most visited attraction of its type in the UK, with half a million visitors a year, so the new Riverside Museum is well placed to become a world-class cultural destination.
