Scope and Content Orion Bridge, Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire This bridge was built by Lanarkshire County Council to replace a ford over the river Clyde, which was impassable when the river was in spate. It is a steel truss bridge of the double-Warren or X type, with the trusses supported on cylindrical piers. This view shows the bridge from the south west, showing its three trusses and the slenderness of the piers In the background is Clyde Iron Works. The bridge took its name from an earlier railway bridge on a parallel route which carried coal to the Clyde Iron Works from pits on the south bank of the Clyde. The Orion road bridge has now been by-passed. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
