Description

The Railway Swing Bridge at Port Dundas, built around 1890, is a single track swing span that crosses the Forth and Clyde Canal (Glasgow Branch). It features plate girder sides that are bowed in shape and pivots on the south side, equipped with hand operating gear. The bridge has stone abutments and protective wooden piling, which is now decaying. It was constructed to support the Caledonian Railway's Port Dundas branch during a period when direct connections to customers' premises were important for attracting traffic.
