Testing of the Renfrew Bridge - the first opening road bridge across the River Clyde - has been successfully completed as it moves closer to opening to the public.

The heart of our Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) project, the new bridge will connect Renfrew with Clydebank and Yoker directly for the first time and bring huge economic benefits to Renfrewshire and the wider Glasgow City Region.

The project will create additional connecting active travel and road links, including from Yoker Railway Station to Renfrew town centre, which will give local businesses in Renfrewshire a fresh audience, provide greater access to highly-skilled jobs, and enhance the health, education and leisure opportunities for communities on both sides of the river.

It will also help realise the full potential of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) – Scotland’s home of manufacturing innovation - which we are developing next to Glasgow Airport, by attracting more companies to locate here and take advantage of the shared world-class expertise and development opportunities.

The CWRR project is jointly funded by the UK Government and Scottish Government through the £1.13billion Glasgow City Region City Deal, a partnership of eight councils working to deliver a programme of work to grow a strong, inclusive and sustainable City Region and an economy which delivers for all people and businesses.
