Bam Nuttall Starts Work On New West Lothian Footbridge

Bam Nuttall has started building a new pedestrian footbridge in West Lothian.

The contractor is developing the structure at Addiewell station and the project will take six months to complete.

The new bridge will be built next to the existing structure, which will be removed once works are completed. Although lifts are not being installed as part of this programme, the bridge design will make provision for this to happen in the future.

The scheme forms part of wider work on the Shotts line being delivered by Network Rail ahead of the electrification of the route by 2019.

Mak Kader, Network Rail Programme Manager, said: "This new bridge will enhance the amenity of the station and the design offers the potential to install lifts in the future to deliver full accessibility."
