Project (September 2014 - 2015)
This project, which was largely undertaken in 2015 and 2016, initially comprised a desk-based qualitative assessment of about 360 Canmore records for which a direct association with the River Clyde could be demonstrated, identifying which records could be enhanced, and how, in a subsequent project. The desk-based phase of the project was followed by a programme of fieldwork (https://canmore.org.uk/project/1024867) which identified over 300 previously unrecorded sites along the river.
Field Visit (6 March 2015)
This bridge, which carries Pettinain Road over the River Clyde south of Carstairs Junction, comprises a concrete deck supported by three pairs of cylindrical concrete piers that are cross-braced. The roadway approaching both ends of the bridge is built on an embankment that incorporates culverts or spillways to allow flood waters to travel downstream.
