BridgeName and dates
Clyde Hot Metal BridgeOpened on the Clyde Iron Works (David Colville and Sons Co Ltd).
Description
This bridge carried the hot metal road over the River Clyde from the Clyde Iron Works (to the east) to the Clydebridge Steel Works (to the west). It ran from the new blast furnaces, built for Colvilles in the 1930s and 40s, in the north of the iron works to the north side of the steel works.
The hot metal road closed in 1977/8, with the end of the open hearth furnace at the neighbouring Clydebridge Steel Works, and the bridge was removed.
