Work To Start On Railway Bridge Replacement In Falkirk

Construction News Image
Work is to begin on a railway bridge replacement project in Falkirk.

The scheme at Glasgow Road in Carmuirs aims to replace the structure over the A803 between Camelon and Bonnybridge.

Features include replacing the deck and parapets, as well as improving the bridge's resilience in the event of a vehicle strike. The work will also prepare the structure for future projects to upgrade track and electrify the line.

Work is scheduled to get underway on Saturday, 01 April with completion scheduled for Sunday, 30 April. Glasgow Road will close to traffic Saturday, 08 April until Friday, 21 April.

The scheme was originally scheduled to start in autumn last year, however it was postponed after the construction team failed to gain sufficient 'access time' to the railway line.

Alison Flanagan, Network Rail project manager, said: "The heavy plant and machinery that will be used during the work means that it will be noisy and some disturbance is unavoidable, particularly at night. We appreciate that it is also a busy road and the extended journey times created by the diversion route will cause some inconvenience. We apologise if you are effected by either noise from the work or the road closure."
