Alternatively you can go through the former toll plaza by taking a right at the A898 roundabout to follow the loop road round and climb more gradually up to the bridge. Keep to the left if you choose this option, and join the cycle track when it starts at the end of the bend.
If you wish to go to Erskine town itself, or to continue to Inchinnan or even Renfrew, go straight on at the B815 crossroads in Bishopton, along Old Greenock Road to Erskine, most of which is to the left of this road. Cross straight over the A726 roundabout and two other roundabouts in Erskine, then turn right through the bus gate, to get to Inchinnan. Continue straight on through Inchinnan to join the main A8 for a mile before arriving at the lifting bridge on the edge of Renfrew.
