Farrans Construction has been appointed to build a \u00a359m road and bridge scheme connecting Paisley town centre with the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) and Glasgow Airport.<\/p>\n

Construction planning is under way on the Renfrewshire Council-led project, with the full route expected to open in 2028.<\/p>\n

The AMIDS South scheme includes a new road bridge over Paisley Harbour, a 1.7km route along the White Cart river and walking and cycling links between Paisley\u2019s bus and rail interchanges and AMIDS, Inchinnan and the airport.<\/p>\n

A new road will also be built from Renfrew Road to the bridge, linking into the planned Paisley Grammar School Community Campus.<\/p>\n

Farrans, which recently delivered the Govan to Partick Bridge in Glasgow, will also construct a safe pedestrian and cycle route from Gallowhill using an underpass on a disused railway line. The council said \u00a31.5m of the project cost is being met by Transport Scotland for this section.<\/p>\n

The UK Government has contributed \u00a338.7m via the Levelling Up Fund, with the council providing \u00a318.8m.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to unlock \u00a3136m in private sector investment, cut carbon emissions by 21,700 tonnes and support job creation.<\/p>\n

Farrans Scotland regional director Patrick Murray said his team was working through final pre-construction stages with the client and would begin local engagement soon.<\/p>\n

The new infrastructure follows the Renfrew Bridge scheme, also backed by UK Government funding, which connects Renfrew with Yoker and Clydebank.<\/p>\n

AMIDS South is part of Renfrewshire Council\u2019s capital programme, which also includes the \u00a390m road renewal strategy and \u00a3170m planned investment in its school estate.<\/p>\n

The council has not disclosed the contract type or procurement route for the AMIDS South job.<\/p>\n
