Description

South Lanarkshire Council are proceeding with the construction of a 90-metre single span proprietary steel bridge to replace the existing reinforced concrete bridge structure, subject to the Council acquiring the land required for the project as set out below. The proposed structure includes a 4.2m wide carriageway with an additional footway of minimum width 1.05m. The new structure will be constructed off-line of the existing bridge. The proposed carriageway on approach to the structure will follow a new alignment and will include new approach roads to the north and south which will tie into the existing C29 Pettinain Road. The proprietary bridge will be supported on reinforced concrete abutments which, in turn, will be supported by piled foundations. On the north approach the structure will also include wing walls which will not be connected to the abutment and will behave as retaining walls. On the south approach the structure will include wing walls which will not be connected to the abutment and will behave as retaining walls and a cattle creep structure. The superstructure is proposed to be launched from the south abutment and a launching area for this purpose will be built. In addition to this the design also includes for the replacement of a cattle creep structure located approximately 350m south of Clyde Bridge and the infilling of a culvert located approximately 270m south of Clyde Bridge.
