Network Rail is to host two drop-in events for residents to find out information about a level crossing replacement project in Stirling.
As part of its £40 billion Railway Upgrade Plan, the Cornton level crossings are due to be replaced with a new road bridge over the railway before it is electrified in 2019.
In addition, pedestrian and cycle access will also be incorporated.
A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Level crossings are the biggest external risk to rail safety and a leading cause of fatal accidents on the railway.
"The electrification of the railway through Stirling – and the faster, quieter trains it will introduce to the line – significantly changes the level of risk at the Cornton crossings."
The two drop-in events will take place at the Allan Centre in Bridge of Allan between 3:30pm – 8pm on Monday, 27 June and in Cornton Community Centre on Tuesday, 28 June.
