 The bridge was reopened in March 1859, with the toll completely abolished in 1885.To accommodate the growing volume of traffic, construction began on the current bridge in 1927.It was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson and fabricated by the famous bridge building firm of Sir William Arrol & Co. at their Dalmarnock Ironworks in Glasgow (they also built the famous Forth Rail Bridge and the steel structure of Tower Bridge in London).
