Works on cycle path connecting Paisley and Renfrew underway [Glasgow Evening Times]
Date: 11/03/2022
Works have started to create a new cycle path that will connect two towns near Glasgow.
The £1 million project will create a 5km route, which will run parallel to the White Cart, beginning on the banks of the River Clyde at the Renfrew Ferry.
It will also be able to connect into the new two-lane road bridge over the River Clyde to Clydebank and Yoker.

The trackbed from Paisley Abercorn to Sandyford Halt was converted into one of the less successful foot/cycleways in 1987. This view looks towards Arkleston Junction during the conversion. The walking route, largely hemmed in by fencing, took in a sewage works and the M8's White Cart Viaduct. Abercorn station was provided on the curved line to connect the old railway to the network and replaced the Hamilton Street terminus. [Ref query 70]
