The world's longest Lego bridge is now on display at a shopping centre in Glasgow.

Comprised of more than 200,000 individual bricks and weighing three quarters of a tonne, the bridge has been set up at the St Enoch Centre.

The giant bridge, which stands 3m tall and spans 31m, almost the length of three double-decker buses, has been re-built by a team of specialist civil engineers who worked tirelessly throughout the night.

Designed by Dr Robin Sham from the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), it was first assembled in London in 2014 and has previously been on display in Liverpool and Hong Kong.

Sara Thiam, director of the institute of civil engineers in Scotland hopes that the structure will encourage more young people to consider a career in engineering.

She said: "We're excited about this as we think its a great opportunity to see how engineering can be as a career and how fun it could be - particularly for those young women out there.

"This is a really creative career and traditionally it has been a fairly male dominated one.

"That's beginning to change but we've got to get the message out to girls and young women that this is a career for them just as much as it is for young men."
