| Information | |
Clyde's Bridge a three-arched stone bridge crossing the River Clyde at Wandel to the north of Abington in Lanarkshire. It once carried Clydesdale's main road across the river, but has since been superseded by the Wandel Roaad Bridge, which stands beside it immediately downstream.
The arches are carried by two stout piers both standing in the river and which have substantial triangular cutwaters upstream and downstream. The central arch is the widest with the main stream of the river passing beneath it.
The bridge has in the past been strengthened with iron bracing, clearly visible in places.
Clyde's Bridge is the first major road bridge across the River Clyde below its source, It carries the A702 from Duneaton Roundabout to Wandel in Lanarkshire.
