THE opening date for the new Renfrew bridge has been revealed.
It is now proposed that the route will open in late April/early May, but this is subject to change.
The project is funded by the UK and Scottish Governments through the £1.13 billion Glasgow City Region City Deal.
It was originally due to be fully operational for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in Autumn 2024.
However, it was later confirmed that the opening date had been moved to Springtime of this year.
The £117 million Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project will connect Clydebank and Yoker with Renfrew.
A statement from the City Deal team read: "The construction and installation of the bridge is complete, and significant testing has been undertaken to ensure a smooth transition when the project is handed over to our bridges team.
"That team will be based on the riverside on the Renfrew side of the bridge and will work on a 24-hour basis to ensure the bridge can open for river traffic as required.
"There are ongoing works to create the required roads infrastructure on both of the sides of the river, but GRAHAM are progressing well, and we continue to work closely with them and Jacobs to ensure the works are completed as quickly as possible and to the required standards.
"Variable Message Sign (VMS) signage on the approach and further out from the bridge to support road users to know the availability of the bridge for crossing is also being progressed.
"The council website will also provide the same information to support residents, and this will be posted with as much notice as possible to allow alternative journeys to be planned if required."
