During the 1960s/70s, when a motorway (M8) was being put through the centre of Glasgow, a number of footbridges were built over it to link the two sides together. Unfortunately the funding ran out for the niceties, and for several decades there was a famous "Bridge To Nowhere" to the west side of the city centre with a winding, gentle, ramp at one end, and a 40ft drop at the other. However in the early to mid 10s, money was found from a new source to finally complete the bridge. Search for "Glasgow Bridge To Nowhere".
