Scope and Content Hyndford Bridge, Lanarkshire This is a four-span road bridge carrying the A73 road over the River Clyde. It is built of sandstone ashlar, and was designed by Alexander Stevens. The bridge is slightly humped, and the arches are segments of circles. The large spans were designed to cope with flood conditions. The cutwaters of the piers support semicircular refuges on the bridge deck, for pedestrians. This one of the finest and least altered 18th century road bridges in Scotland.
