Iain Nicolson, the SNP representative for Erskine and Inchinnan, said: "Once an investigation is carried out as to the circumstances and what damage may have occurred to the structure it is hopeful that a new lifting schedule will be planned in the near future."
The transport bogey which was lifting the bridge was also toppled onto its side.

A spokesman for Renfrewshire council said: "Contractors at the Glasgow Airport Investment Area site have notified the Health and Safety Executive of an incident last night. No-one was injured and we are supporting the contractors as they assess the situation and consider the next steps.
