The former waterfront path at the Windmillcroft Quay on the south side of the river had to close eight years ago for safety reasons.
A new Clyde promenade and cycle route is set to be created in Glasgow as part of plans to rebuild a crumbling quay wall.
Proposals for the 300 metre long riverfront includes a cycle route, walkway, feature lighting, seating, trees and shrubs. The whole project is estimated to cost about £18 million and it would see the new quay wall being built out on the riverbed about 13 metres from the existing one.Glasgow City Council is to carry out the project and has submitted a planning application for the scheme. The site sits next to 278 private homes.
A design statement submitted as part of a planning application from the council said: “The project involves a comprehensive programme of structural works to form a new quay wall. This shall involve building out the existing frontage into the riverbed and creating a wider land area at the quayside. The new public realm will include a segregated cycle lane and footways, functional and feature lighting, improved street furniture and soft landscaping.
