The Orion Bridge in Cambuslang was built to connect Cambuslang to Tollcross. It was designed by Crouch and Hogg and features steel lattice trusses supported by masonry piers. It was initially linked to the nearby Clydebridge Steel Works. Though bypassed in the 1970s due to increasing traffic loads, it still serves local traffic today.
