Delegates from CIHT NI visited the site of the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside, which is being delivered by GRAHAM on behalf of Renfrewshire Council, as part of a study tour to Glasgow.

Funded through the Glasgow City Region City Deal the project is creating an attractive waterfront area and connecting communities through construction of an opening road bridge over the River Clyde at Renfrew. The two-lane bridge will accommodate vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and open for passing ships, spanning 184-metres from Renfrew to the boundary between Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire.

Construction also includes a connecting road between the bridge and the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) and new walking and cycling routes through Renfrew and across the bridge, connecting to Yoker train station and the national cycling network.

Jim Armour, Contracts Manager at GRAHAM provided an overview of the project and also took the party on a tour of the site to view some of the elements of the bridge construction.

When complete, the bridge will open up work, health, education and leisure opportunities on both sides of the Clyde, creating thousands of additional new jobs, investment and developments in the local areas.
