NS5765 : Squinty Bridge over the Clyde
As you see there's a Heritage Trail of all the Clyde bridges of which this is the latest. Typically for Glasgow it instantly earned a nickname - the Squinty Bridge, as given here - NS5765 : The Squinty Bridge (I've not heard it called 'Bendy', but that's not to say it isn't.)
In the background here -NS5765 : Crane on the Clyde in NS5765. - you find another of Glasgow's favourite nicknames, for NS5665 : Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, in NS5665, the Clyde Auditorium, promptly christened 'The Armadillo'.
