Description

Dalmarnock Bridge, built between 1889 and 1891 by Crouch and Hogg, is a road bridge over the River Clyde in Rutherglen, Glasgow. It features a combination of iron and masonry construction with Gothic detailing. The bridge has five spans, each supported by six steel girders that are hidden behind decorative cast-iron fascias adorned with quatrefoils. The parapets consist of arcaded iron balustrades made up of dwarf columns with ogee arches, also featuring quatrefoils in the spandrels.

The bridge is supported by ashlar piers with cutwaters, and the stonework extends through the parapets, which hold decorative cast-iron lamp standards. The buttresses are designed with paired columns that have foliated capitals and pink granite shafts. There are curved quadrants at the northern bank, and stone steps lead down to a riverside walkway on the west side. Slender iron bollards separate the carriageway from the footway.
