| Information | |
Clydeford Bridge in Lanarkshire, otherwise known as the 'Rosebank Bridge' is a 1970s plain, concrete road bridge which carries the A763 road over the River Clyde from Carmyle outsid Glasgow, towards an industrial suburb on the site of the Clyde Iron Works, and towards the A74(M) and the M74 motorway.
The bridge was built in 1976,[1] to replace the Cambuslang Bridge (built 1892) to the west when Cambuslang Bridge was closed to traffic.[2]
The bridge is to the north-east of Cambuslang and the south-west of Carmyle. Its name derives from Clydeford Road which runs north from Cambuslang Main Street to the river, which was itself named after an ancient ford across the water at a nearby point.
On the south side of the bridge the Clyde Walkway and National Cycle Route 75 meet.
