Work Continues On £120m Water Network Upgrade Project

Construction News Image
Scottish Water is continuing work on a £120 million investment to upgrade the drinking water network for Ayrshire and parts of East Renfrewshire.

The company's alliance partner, Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA), is installing around 30 miles of new water mains to connect the system in Ayrshire with the Greater Glasgow area's network.

Part of the project involves installing a new water main stretching from Waulkmill Glen reservoir near Newton Mearns to Amlaird Water Treatment Works near Fenwick. In addition, a new water main and pumping station will be developed at the Gorbals Water Treatment Works in Darnley.

To deliver this phase, a new underground power supply cable needs to be installed which will follow a four-mile route from Crookston to Darnley.

As a result, traffic management will be in place on the Dovecot Roundabout until Monday, 28 November. This will then move along Aurs Road with the route being reduced to one lane with two way traffic lights from the Dovecot Roundabout to the junction of Lyoncross Avenue until Wednesday, 30 November.

After this stage, a two-week rolling programme of work will begin with temporary traffic lights along Aurs Road and Glasgow Road.

Scottish Water said: "The utility apologises for any inconvenience to road users, businesses and customers in the area and thanks them for their continued patience and understanding."
