Scope and Content Orion Bridge, Cambuslang, Lanarkshire This bridge was built to link Cambuslang to Tollcross, probably in connection with the development of the Clydebridge Steel Works on the Tollcross side. The three-span structure was designed by Crouch and Hogg, Glasgow. This view shows the bridge from the south west. The roadway is carried on steel lattice trusses supported on cylindrical masonry piers. Note the Clyde Iron Works in the background: the steel works was to the left. This bridge was bypassed in the late 1970s, as its construction was too slender for the increasing weight of traffic, but still carries local traffic. The iron works has been demolished.
