Network Rail has completed a £1 million bridge renovation project in East Renfrewshire.

The three-month programme involved replacing steelwork on the rail bridge at Barrhead station on Paisley Road.

Works included engineers grit-blasting old paint and rust off the steelwork to expose the metal below before repairing and strengthening the metalwork and repainting the entire structure.

Jeremy Spence, Network Rail project manager for the renovation works, said: "The work we were undertaking was vital to the long-term operation of the railway. We understand the inconvenience the work caused to motorists and some residents and we thank them for their patience throughout this project."
