Rutherglen Bridge, Victorian stone bridge over River Clyde between Bridgeton and Rutherglen, Scotland
The grey granite bridge features three distinct arches that span across the River Clyde, connecting the neighborhoods of Bridgeton and Dalmarnock with Rutherglen.
Morrison & Mason constructed the current bridge between 1893 and 1896, replacing an earlier five-arch structure designed by James Watt from 1774.
The bridge marks a boundary between Glasgow City and South Lanarkshire, representing the historical development of transportation networks in industrial Scotland.
The structure forms part of the Glasgow East End Regeneration Route, providing essential connections between the M8 and M74 motorways for vehicles.
Workers constructed the bridge foundations using steel caissons sunk 18.2 meters below the riverbed, working in compressed air chambers lit by candles.
