Pipe Bridge and Weir, Glasgow Green
The Pipe Bridge across the River Clyde is certainly illuminated with vivid colors. It was built in 1901 and rebuilt in 1949 after parts of the original foundation were undermined. The present steel structure also carries large diameter pipes, and thus its name. If you look under the bridge you can see the weir, which raises the upstream water levels for environmental and leisure purposes.
Although the vivid lighting is certainly eye-catching at night, I wonder whether the bridge is so visible as a warning to the occasional boater. There appeared to be no lock or boat lift. Anyone taking a boat up or down the River Clyde would need to portage around this point.
