Steps up to footbridge across River Leven from Vale of Leven Industrial Estate to Renton, with wheeling ramp. See also #196751.
Steps up from footbridge across River Leven from Vale of Leven Industrial Estate to Renton, with wheeling ramp. See also #196752.
Steps down to the NCN7 path at Renton, with wheeling ramp, but the south-facing ramp path will be more convenient for cycling.
The path that one day may reach Cardross and Helensburgh. The Shore Circular Path takes the route to the right.
The Shore Circular Path at Clydeview. The path starts off reasonably wide, gets narrow, then returns to being wide again.
The cycle track in #196499 ends with "cyclists dismount" painted on the asphalt. Just like the start, there is no dropped kerb adjacent to the end point.
A short section of cycle track alongside Crosslet Road. It hasn't been connected to the NCN7 cycleway off to the left. The cycle track gives way to a car park entrance part way along its short length. See also #196500.
Titan Boulevard forms a through route for cycling from the new Clydebank riverside towards the canal at the town centre, via Hume Street visible in the background.
A new section of path has been provided at the northern end of the Erskine Bridge that avoids the need to drop down to the lower level then climb back up to this level to use the A82 path.
A new street in Clydebank, Titan Boulevard, at last providing a high quality walking and cycling connection between Clydebank College and the town centre, lining up with Hume Street and Abbotsford Road to link to the canal towpath.
A direction sign for the Forth & Clyde Canal in Bowling, with a pointed end even though it is on the approach to the actual junction. The pedestrian crossing used to be part of NCN7, until the cycle route was rerouted via the Bowline path.
The revitalised former railway bridge across Dumbarton Road in Bowling, now part of the Bowline project.
The new Bowline path diverges from the Loch Lomond cycle path, with the original route into the park still available. NCN7 is now signed over the new route.
The start of the Bowline viaduct. Steps and a ramp connect the path to the canal towpath off to the right.
The route sign at the Bowline junction, east of Bowling. NCN7 is now signed via the new Bowline route, while NCN754 continues along the canal towpath. In the Clydebank direction, NCN7 is incorrectly shown in brackets.
A direction sign for the cycle parking at the Golden Jubilee Hospital on the riverside path. The cycle parking has moved due to building work, and has been replaced by a number of double deck units.
A direction sign for the canal access that has completely faded out at the roundabout at the hospital western exit. The pedestrian crossing is also completely out on both sides.
It was interesting watching (from the other side of the junction) the differing strategies employed by drivers when confronted with traffic signals where both the red lights were faulty. The impatient ones assumed wrongly that the signals f ... [more]
Although the former steps connecting Milton Mains Road and Glenhead Road to the Great Western Road shared footway have been replaced by a ramp (as seen in #107326), at the other end the nearest dropped kerb (just out of the picture) assumes ... [more]
The path around the back of the pitches at Whitecrook Park is not surfaced, but leads to an entrance on North Elgin Street.
Cycle parking at the entrance to Whitecrook Park, but a metal maze to get through to get to it, unless you go around the end of the fence.
There are some tightly spaced cycle parking stands next to the entrance door, in addition to those in #173563, and some bikes were visible inside the doorway. Despite there being parking spaces on the opposite side of the road, this driv ... [more]
The canal path access next to the Centre81 community centre is now opened. There are steps and a hair-pin bend ramp. The community centre also has some cycle parking.
Dock Street Clydebank, NCN 7 where it crosses a street, I wonder if it could be made more clear the path crosses here 🤔 Sight lines a major issue here with parked cars, for a path used by all age groups walk/wheeling with heavy vehicl ... [more]
A new canal towpath access point has been created at the Centre81 community centre in Whitecrook. UPDATE: Now open.
A new steps and ramp access to the canal towpath is being built at the Centre81 community centre in Whitecrook. The towpath here has been resurfaced over a short distance.
The path on the north side of the Forth & Clyde Canal at Linnvale has a loose gravel surface, while the direct route to Strauss Avenue is just a grass path.
West Thomson Street has been partially resurfaced (see #107341), but the cycle lane has not been reinstated, even though the signs remain, albeit one facing in the wrong direction.
The little bridge across the Forth & Clyde Canal in Clydebank appears to have stuck. Access is still available across the main bridge at the shopping centre, but this is often busy with pedestrians, making this a preferred route for cycling ... [more]
The riverside path is separated from the car park by rising bollards, although they hadn't been deployed at the time of my visit.
Cycle parking at the western end of the riverside path in Dalmuir. The path does not connect into the hospital grounds ahead.
The Boquhanran Road underpass beneath the Forth & Clyde Canal. I'm sure the road network would still function if this was shut to motor traffic and a more suitable surface laid for safer cycling.
An underpass with steps linking the two parts of Boquhanran Road beneath the railway. Unlikely to ever be made accessible, I guess. Duntocher Road is the nearest alternative crossing.
A dropped kerb is still required at both ends of the path connecting the Clydebank Business Park and Singer Road.
NCN7 meets Dock Street on the edge of Clydebank. This will become a busy crossing when the new bridge to Renfrew is built. There is scope to put the cycle path on a bridge to cross the road, reusing the abutment of the old railway bridge, b ... [more]
The new road between Clydebank College and Cable Depot road. This section is as yet unopened, but I saw a few people on bikes using it. At this end, it connects with NCN7. There are bus stops, but no cycle facilities along the road.
The new riverside path from the Titan crane leaves the riverside and follows a zig-zag course a little back from the river bank. It then ceases, without (as yet) connecting to the path seen in #167649.
A section of new road linking Cable Depot Road to the Clydebank College area. This section is as yet unopened. Here the road is raised to footway level, and corduroy tactiles are used to mark the limit of the carriageway.
A nice section of riverside path, but it doesn't connect to anything else. A new section of path is being installed beyond the navigation light (see #167654), but with the industrial estate in the way, does not look like it will link up.
A path connectinging an industrial estate to the hospital entrance road along the riverside. I guess the things at the side of the path are meant to be cycle parking stands, although placed right up against a kerb, and in a location unlikel ... [more]
A poorly designed corner on junction at Cable Depot Road. The verge and tactile paving is being run over by vehicular traffic.
A new road parallel to Dumbarton Road, connecting Cable Depot Road to the area around Clydebank College. I don't know what bus service they expect will use this road once open completely, since this road effectively bypasses the town centre ... [more]
A new toucan crossing next to Miller Street. The carriageway has been raised to the same level as the footway, and corduroy tactile paving is used to mark the edge of the footway since the kerb is flush.
Work outside Clydebank Town Hall. No sign yet of the cycle lanes shown in the artist's impression. https://www.scottishconstructionnow.com/article/4-3m-project-to-transform-clydebanks-town-centre-links
Cycle parking at the staff entrance to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital. There is better cycle parking over by the car park at #107103.
Boquhanran Road shut for roadworks at the canal bridge, but no-one seems to have seen the memo about signing the cycle access still being open.
An awkward barrier at the foot of the ramp up to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath, and no dropped kerb. The only way to the Clydebank Business Park that could possibly be just a quarter of a mile is to head in the opposite direction from ... [more]
Roadworks at the canal bridge on Boquhanran Road, with space left for cycling and walking. I wonder if the road network would miss this road being shut to motor vehicles permanently.
Signs visible through the trees for various destinations not mentioned at the top of the ramp. Anyone getting this far probably already knows where they are going. Plus an awkward barrier to get around at the bottom of the steep and narrow ... [more]
The access ramp from the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, but nothing on the signpost to say so.
The prohibited turn sign in Abbotsford Road doesn't exempt cycling, even though the sign in Chalmers Street says 'No Motor Vehicles'.
Through motor traffic has been removed from Hume Street by a road closure by bollards next to the low bridge. However the Chalmers Street side of Hume Street has been turned into a taxi storage area with conflicting signage and road mark ... [more]
Through motor traffic has been removed from Hume Street by a road closure by bollards next to the low bridge. However the Chalmers Street side of Hume Street has been turned into a taxi storage area with conflicting signage and road mark ... [more]
The signs used on Hume Street are 'No Motor Vehicles' signs yet the plates below the signs and the prohibited turn signs say 'No vehicles except for taxis'. Is cycling allowed, and if not why not?
