A road bridge was constructed to the south of the railway bridge in 1986, connecting Rutherglen directly to the motorway and Carmyle [38] - previously, road traffic between these areas would need to go via Dalmarnock and London Road, or via the older bridge in Cambuslang (albeit a replacement for this had already been opened in 1976).
The original bridge was completed in 1772, and was designed by William Mylne and built by civil engineer John Smeaton. [1] Its seven-arch structure was honoured by Thomas Telford , the first president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, who replaced it in 1833 [ 2 ] with a design built by John Gibb & Son for £34,000.
The bridge, made from wrought iron with arched sandstone towers at either end, has a suspension span of 414 ft (126 m); [1] the bridge deck is 13 ft (4.0 m) wide. It was built between 1851 and 1853, replacing a temporary wooden bridge on the same site (used from 1832 to 1846) designed by Robert Stevenson.
The Clyde Arc was designed by Halcrow Group and built by BAM Nuttall. Glasgow City Council instigated the project in conjunction with Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government. Piling works for the bridge were carried out from a large floating barge on the Clyde, whilst the bridge superstructure was fabricated offsite.

The name (a portmanteau of "Trades Town") reflected its role as a primarily dockland area with a large number of warehouses and wharves along the riverside were vessels would be unloaded.
