The Renfrew Bridge has finally reopened after four days of closures — but will be shut again on Wednesday for an extended period.
The £117m bridge between Renfrew and Yoker opened in May 2025; after several years of construction.
It closed on Friday after a maintenance defect was identified.
An update from Renfrewshire Council on Monday afternoon states: “Renfrew Bridge has re-opened and is available to road users, pedestrians and cyclists. This follows a mechanical issue and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
“A further extended closure is required on Wednesday 12 November to complete the permanent repair.
“Continue to check the website and our bridge WhatsApp for the latest updates on bridge availability.”
The local authority previously said that the bridge had been shut for ‘essential maintenance’ and did not provide a reopening time.
The bridge is part of the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project, led by Renfrewshire Council and funded as part of the £1.13billion Glasgow City Region City Deal.
