For Cambuslang Bridge (adjacent to W), see NS66SW 258.
Cambuslang Footbridge. A simple but distinguished bridge parallel to the road bridge [NS66SW 258] and not many yards upstream 1977. Engineer Strathclyde Regional Council; bulder Fairclough Ltd. 3.3m (11ft) wide and perfectly level across four spans. Solid concrete piers support plate girders of rust-coloured weathering steel, over which is a wide band of well-finished concrete forming the deck kerb and white-painted steel railings of closely-spaced verticals with top and bottom runners. Under the deck it carries two substantial pipes. There are neat lamp standards of green-painted tubular steel.
E Williamson, A Riches and M Higgs 1990.
This bridge carries a footpath over the River Clyde to the N of Cambuslang. The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Old Monkland (to the N) and Cambuslang (to the S).
The location assigned to this record defines the centre of the span. The available map evidence indicates that the structure extends from NS c. 64071 61087 to NS c. 64125 60983.
