Railway Viaduct, Clyde River, Uddingston

The Railway Viaduct over the Clyde River in Uddingston, built in 1848, is a three-span, segmental-arched structure made of cast iron. Each arch features four solid ribs, supported by wrought-iron bracing and open lattice spandrels. The piers are constructed from bull-faced red sandstone ashlar, with a polished ashlar band course that separates the arches. Below the stepped, square-plan coped piers, which have a missing central cope upstream, are semicircular-plan cutwaters. The approach walls, also made of bull-faced red sandstone ashlar, include two deep round-arched recesses on the upstream side leading to the west bank, topped with coped walls.

Adjacent to the original viaduct is a later addition: a three-span steel N-truss girder bridge featuring an open lattice parapet and stugged red sandstone ashlar square-plan dividing piers. This bridge connects directly to the original viaduct downstream. It has swept, semicircular cutwaters with a polished ashlar band course and corniced piers that rise tall, stepped, and coped above the parapet. The approach walls for this bridge are also made of red sandstone ashlar, with a band course below a plain, coped parapet.
