Why?
The section of railway is around 150 years old and carries trains from both the Argyle line and North Clyde line towards Partick, with around 28 trains per hour running over it. We're carrying out this vital work to protect and improve this key section of the network.
What will change?
Scaffolding will be set up around the bridge with safe access for pedestrians and cyclists maintained underneath. Engineers will clean and prepare the metalwork and examine the condition of the structure, carrying out repairs where necessary. The steel will then be repainted and stonework repaired.
