Mountblow bridge
Mountblow Road Bridge is located in the town of Clydebank and carries the 7.32 meter single carriageway Mountblow Road, with two footways both of which are 1.83 meters width, over the A82.
The Superstructure is a two span continuous reinforced concrete coffered deck slab, skewed at 13 degrees. The deck is simply supported by two closed abutments and by a single central pier.
