The Erskine Bridge is a multi span cable-stayed box girder bridge spanning the River Clyde in west central Scotland.[2] The bridge connects West Dunbartonshire with Renfrewshire and can be used by all types of motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. As well as crossing the Clyde, the bridge also crosses the Forth and Clyde Canal and the North Clyde railway line. A small part of Kilpatrick railway station is situated underneath the bridge at the north side. The bridge is part of the A898 road.[3] On completion the bridge replaced the Erskine to Old Kilpatrick ferry service.[4]
