The first section of the newest bridge ov the River Clyde has arrived.
Part of the £117million Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project, the Renfrew Bridge will connect Renfrew with Yoker and Clydebank., education and leisure opportunities on both sides of the Clyde – with the potential for thousands of additional jobs, investment and developments brought to the riverside.
The part to arrive first was the South section of the 184-metre cable-stayed twin-leaf bridge and it travelled for seven days on a barge across the English Channel and Irish Sea having been fabricated in the Netherlands.leader Iain Nicolson said: “It’s fantastic to see the first section of the bridge arrive in Renfrew and the project take a significant step forward as this is going to be transformational for the local area, wider Renfrewshire and the city region.
“The opportunities that the new bridge, and its new connecting roads and active travel routes, will offer communities and businesses are exponential and the project as a whole will provide a substantial boost to the economy and attract more jobs to the area – in addition to more than 950 already created during the construction phase.
