Braehead Viaduct

Partly obscured by the remaining spans of the former Bredisholm Road bridge over the A8, a diverted Class 170 DMU speeds across the Bargeddie Bridges. In the foreground the new alignment for the A8 takes shape; the new section of the M8 will run alongside it, cutting through the present dual carriageway after passing under the new railway viaduct opened in 2015 see image 46140.
