No there isn't because there are no foot or cycle routes on the approaches to the new bridge. There are "no cycles/pedestrian" signs on all of the expressways feeding the bridge and signs on the bridge itself.
The old (Silver Jubilee) bridge is being refurbished to accommodate local road traffic, dedicated cycle path and pedestrian footpath. While this is now closed to vehicles during the refurbishment it is still open to pedestrians and cycles.
When it re-opens fully the bridge will be tolled for motor vehicles and free for pedestrians and bicycles.
