Renfrew Swing Bridge, Doors Open Day 2023
Actually a bascule bridge, but known locally as "The Swing Bridge" as earlier bridges on the site were such. It carries the A8 Inchinnan Road over White Cart Water just upstream of the confluence with Black Cart Water, where both rivers form the River Cart.
White Cart water is still navigable to the outskirts of Paisley at high tide. These days the only river traffic is the occasional heavy load barge to and from the Babcock engineering works a few hundred yards upstream of the bridge.
The one hundred-year-old bridge was raised on this occasion as part of the Doors Open weekend.
It is a Category A Listed building: Link
