Network Rail has said engineers have cleaned, repaired, and repainted the railway bridge over Ferry Road in the Yorkhill area of the city over the last three months.During the work, old paint was grit-blasted from the steel structure so that its condition could be examined in detail followed by repairs on the metal and stonework.
The rail firm has said while there will be secure fencing around the site, access along the National Cycle Route 75 and the walking route to the Riverside Museum will be maintained.They carry trains on both the Argyle and North Clyde lines to and from Patrick station. The section of the railway sees around 28 trains per hour at peak time - making it one of the busiest in Scotland.Amanda Naughton, Network Rail’s project manager for the viaduct work said: “We’re really pleased to have completed the work on the Ferry Road bridge.
“Repairing and repainting these bridges will extend their lifespan and help us to continue to run a safe and reliable railway over one of the busiest and most visible sections of track in Scotland.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
