Watch: New Clyde road bridge links up for first time
The first opening and closing road bridge across the River Clyde has been successfully tested.
The Renfrew Bridge will link Renfrew with Clydebank and Yoker, aiming to provide benefits for communities on both sides of the Clyde.
Operational testing of the bridge was carried out by contractors GRAHAM and work will continue ahead of the official opening later this year.
The project forms part of Renfrewshire Council’s Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) scheme.
Renfrewshire Council leader Iain Nicolson said: “Thousands of jobs will be, and have been, created through the CWRR project, as well as the opportunity for new homes and investment on the riverside and access to health and leisure for communities on both sides of the river."
The project is jointly funded by the UK and Scottish Governments through the £1.13bn Glasgow City Region City Deal.
