Description
This is a disused five span double track viaduct over the River Gryfe in Bridge of Weir, west of Bridge of Weir [2nd]. The arches are skewed. The viaduct is 39 ft high.
At the south end is a girder over a Torr Road. This is a single track girder, betraying that the line was reduced to one track (the Paisley bound track) before closure.
The viaduct is now a foot and cycle path.
