Pedestrian barrier, Salsburgh
The village is split by the old A8 road, still busy now with quarry traffic. The grass strip on the other side was once the road when it was wider in the days before the motorway.

Glasgow and Edinburgh Road, Salsburgh
The old 3 lane A8, now slimmed down to a normal 2 lane road, with most traffic running by on the M8 motorway. Due to the quarries and opencast mines in the area, this is still a busy road.

Footbridge, Salsburgh
A relic from the days when this road was the 3 lane A8 - the main road between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The bridge is still required as the road remains busy even though now replaced by a motorway.

Footbridge
During the 1950s when the main Glasgow to Edinburgh trunk road (A8) passed through the village the need for a road bridge to improve the safety of pedestrians was raised at Westminster on several occasions. The bridge was completed in 1961 only 6 years before the M8 bypassed the village to the north in August 1967.
