The bridge carries the Glasgow to Gourock line over the B788 Dellingbun Street, between Cartsdyke and Greenock Central stations. The roadworks in the foreground are in preparation for a five month road closure which will enable Network Rail to repair and strengthen the bridge.
Delingburn Railway Bridge

Dellingburn railway bridge is a substantial masonry and steel girder structure which carries the Glasgow to Gourock branch of the Inverclyde Line over the top of a roundabout at the junction of Baker Street, Regent Street and Dellingburn Street to the east of Greenock Central station.

Traces of a former parallel bridge which served Greenock Central Goods station and Dellingburn power station can be seen on the south side of the bridge.

Network Rail commenced a major refurbishment project on the bridge in November 2019. This entails closure of Dellingburn Street for a 20 week period, which requires traffic diversions around the east end of the town (access for pedestrians and cyclists is maintained).

The £1m works include drainage improvements, clearing adjacent vegetation, strengthening girders, repairing masonry, blast cleaning and repairing the metalwork, applying corrosion protection and painting.
