Scope and Content Uddingston Viaduct, Lanarkshire This viaduct was built by the Clydesdale Junction Railway as part of its direct line from Motherwell to the southern outskirts of Glasgow. It is a three-span cast-iron structure, and was supplanted c1900 by a steel N-truss structure to the north. This view shows the 1849 viaduct from the south east, with the later structure visible through the arches. The older viaduct has four ribs, each cast in four sections, and is similar in design to others on the West Coast route from London to Aberdeen. This viaduct was probably designed by Locke and Errington. The lattice spandrels are based on a design used by Thomas Telford in several of his road bridges. The northern pair of ribs carried a concrete footbridge until c1980. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
