As part of the ongoing regeneration initiatives under the Shawfield Masterplan, Clyde Gateway commissioned essential remedial works to address structural instability along a section of the River Clyde’s southern bank. These works included riverbank reinforcement and associated landscaping improvements, aimed at enhancing both the environmental integrity and long-term resilience of the area. The site in question is strategically located between Rutherglen Bridge and the Dalmarnock Smart Bridge, forming a key interface within the broader redevelopment zone.

Clyde Gateway refers to a comprehensive regeneration programme targeting a significant expanse of urban land encompassing over 840 hectares. This includes major parts of Glasgow’s East End, such as Bridgeton, Dalmarnock, and Parkhead, as well as Rutherglen and Shawfield within South Lanarkshire. Recognised as Scotland’s foremost regeneration priority in the National Planning Framework, the Clyde Gateway initiative seeks to deliver transformational social and environmental renewal, positioning the region as a vibrant, sustainable urban district for future generations.
