Major Carriageways In Renfrewshire Resurfaced

Construction News Image
A number of major carriageways have been successfully resurfaced as part of a £7.2 million investment in Renfrewshire roads.

Work has been completed on more than a third of all carriageways in the planned programme, including key routes such as Broadloan in Renfrew and Old Greenock Road in Inchinna.

Councillor Cathy McEwan, Convener of Renfrewshire Council's Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board, said: "We recognised that the condition of Renfrewshire's roads was a key priority for those who live and work in the area which is why we invested accordingly in this year's budget.

"A key focus has been placed on undertaking high-quality repairs and there has been an increased resource commitment to post-repair inspections to ensure a long-term benefit is achieved.

"While we recognise that road works can be frustrating for motorists, these necessary works will make a clear improvement to the quality of our roads and every effort is being undertaken to minimise disruption for motorists while the works take place."

Six projects have also been undertaken to address footways across the region, with a further 33 roads undergoing minor repairs to prevent deterioration.

Other resurfacing works are to take place in Lonend, Paisley, and Ferry Road in Bishopton.
