Replacement of existing bridge deck with a single span steel girder footbridge and minor re-grading to footway vertical alignment at Bridgend Footbridge Over Railway Line, Caledonian Place, Dunblane for Network Rail Buchanan House 58 Port Dundas Road Glasgow G4 0LQ

Hopefully it'll look just like the old one.

Work begins today in Dunblane to replace the pedestrian footbridge adjacent to Caledonian Place in order that essential upgrading work can take place. The work is part of the EGIP project which is a £1bn pound investment in central Scotland’s rail infrastructure. The work is to create ‘bridge clearance’ – raising the height of the bridge relative to the railway in order that electrification cables can be run safely under the structure.

Unfortunately, this involves some over night working which is unavoidable as we strive to balance the needs of line-side neighbours and the continuing operation of the railway.

This bridge will be closed for the duration of the works and a temporary pedestrian diversion will be in place and signed accordingly.

During this activity the footpath will be closed from 02 April to 23 July 2012
