Construction of the Erskine Bridge in 1970’s

A youtube film about the construction of the Erskine Bridge, near Glasgow, around 1970.

Construction of the Erskine Bridge in 1970’s

   In the early 1970’s a very large road bridge was constructed to span the River Clyde, joining the County of Dunbartonshire on the north bank and the County of Renfrewshire on the south bank.   It is called "The Erskine Bridge"

   A 22 minute long professionally made film, in colour, recorded the construction of the bridge, and also the surrounding areas and businesses and, shows the shipping and river traffic on the Clyde.

   Yes, being produced in 1970 the film is quite dated, but, nevertheless, is well worth watching.
