Graham was won a £79.5m contract to build a road bridge over the river Clyde in Renfrewshire.
Renfrewshire Council has made the appointment to the job that is being jointly funded by the UK and Scottish governments.
The scheme will see the installation of a twin-leaf swing bridge for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians from the town of Renfrew to the boundary between Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire, as well as riverside walking and cycling routes. It will also involve a new road through Renfrew connecting the bridge to a new manufacturing innovation district, which is currently under development.
Graham civil engineering division managing director Leo Martin said: “The new bridge will provide a gateway to the area’s fast-growing manufacturing innovation district and help better connect communities with significant employment and development opportunities for what will be a transformational project for the Renfrewshire and Glasgow City regions.”
Renfrewshire Council has announced its intention to award Graham a £79.5M contract that includes the first opening bridge over the River Clyde, which is expected to deliver economic and manufacturing boosts for the region.
The new 184m span twin leaf swing structure is part of the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside contract for an innovation district that is jointly funded by the UK and Scottish Governments through the £1.13bn Glasgow City Region City Deal.
Graham worked with design partners Amey and Ramboll and steel supplier Hollandia on the bid beat off rival bids from ARC, formed by Roadbridge, American Bridge and Cowi, and a Balfour Beatyy-led team including Cleveland Bridge, Qualter Hall and Atkins.
