A gothic style decorated single-span open cast-iron arch formed of nine ribs crossing the Kelvin on a pronounced skew, erected from 1876–78 as a replacement for the old bridge. Its wing walls are of red sandstone ashlar with semi-octagonal towers rising to parapet level.
The bridge was built for the Glasgow and Yoker Turnpike Road Trust. The engineers were Bell & Miller and
the contractor, Hugh Kennedy. The old masonry bridge of three arches built ca.1800 still exists, ivy covered and
now serves as a footbridge.
