A multi-million-pound project to refurbish a viaduct in Glasgow has been completed.

The Clyde Viaduct was originally built in 1897 and was widened in 1923 and has been used for over 100 years to carry services between Glasgow and Lanark, Larkhall and Motherwell.

Now after a £4.7m project delivered by Network Rail, the structure - located between Rutherglen and Dalmarnock - has undergone some major developments.

Glasgow Times:

Around 300 metres of tracks were renewed and 1100 square metres of waterproofing was installed, while more than 10 tonnes of new steelwork was added to strengthen the viaduct.

Over 5000 litres of paint was also used as part of the improvements to the century-old structure and to keep Scotland’s Railway safe and reliable.

Glasgow Times:

Suzanne McKay, scheme project manager, said: “This significant investment not only improves the look of the structure but will help to extend its lifespan as work on this scale won’t be required for at least another 25 years.

“Some of our work had to be carried out at night when trains were not running and we are very grateful to the community for their understanding and patience during this time.”
