The Clyde Tunnel is a crossing beneath the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland, for road traffic, cyclists and pedestrians. The tunnel was first opened in 1963 and recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Illustrated with recently unearthed photos and plans, this presentation will discuss the history of the Clyde Tunnel, a key part of Glasgow’s road network. The tunnel celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023 and remains one of the most significant pieces of twentieth century infrastructure in Scotland.
This event is open to both members and non-members of CIHT. It will be of particular interest to Highway/Civil Engineers, Transport Planners and anyone with an interest in the history, operation and maintenance of Scotland’s road network.
