The damage was caused when the nearby Tidal Weir failed in August 2017, resulting in the water level of the River Clyde above the weir dropping to its lowest level for over sixty years. The absence of water pressure in the river resulted in long stretches of the banks collapsing, including this stretch which remains collapsed five years later.
