Sunday 1 June 2025 – GoBike ride to Loch Thom
This ride heads west through Renfrewshire, but since it is newly open, we shall initially stick to the north side of the River Clyde in order to use the bridge at Yoker.
New Yoker to Renfrew bridge open
The new Yoker to Renfrew bridge opened to the public on Friday 9 May 2025.
The 184-metre, twin-leaf bridge has been built as part of the £1.3bn Glasgow City Region City Deal. It swings open to allow river traffic such as the PS Waverley to move freely along the River Clyde. The opening was also reported on the STV News and the BBC News
The bridge forms part of a newly opened 5km active travel route connecting Yoker and Clydebank to Pailsy town centre.
You can check when the bridge will be open to river traffic and therefore unavailable to pedestrians, cyclists and motor traffic on the dedicated webpage https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/renfrew-bridge
