| The '''Clyde Viaduct''', otherwise known as the '''Uddingston Viaduct''', carries the railway line to [[Glasgow]] over the [[River Clyde]] on three elegant iron spans outside [[Uddingston]], [[Lanarkshire]]. It was built in 1848 for the Caledonian Railway Company, to carry their Uddingston to Glasgow line.

| The bridge is a 3-span segmental-arched viaduct in cast-iron. Each arch features 4 solid ribs tied by wrought-iron bracing and with open lattice spandrels. The piers are in bull-faced red sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar band courses and dividing arches. A later three-span N-truss bridge in steel girders was built alongside in 1903.<ref>{{canmore|163551|Uuddingston, Clyde Viaduct|cat=A}}</ref>
