Work will soon begin on the railway bridge on Quarry Street near Hamilton Central Station.

Between May the 8th and July 3rd, work to repair and repaint the bridge will be carried out by Network Rail.

Road closures and lane closures will take place while the project is completed.

New parapets, steelwork repairs along with masonry work and repainting will be carried during the work on the bridge.

Lane closures will be in place on Quarry Street from Saturday 15th May to Sunday, June 27th.

The walkway from Duke Street Car Park and the station will also be closed between those dates.

From 22:00hrs on Saturday 5 June to 06:00 on Monday 7 June, and 22:00hrs on Saturday 12 June to 06:00 on Monday14 June the road will be fully closed over the bridge with limited pedestrian access.

Diversions will be in place via Brandon/Union Street, Wellhall Road and Chantinghall/Mill Road while the road is closed.

Suzanne McKay, scheme project manager at Network Rail, said: “The work we’re doing at the bridge on Quarry Street will extend the lifespan of the bridge and ensure we can continue to run a safe and reliable railway.

“While we understand that lane and road closures aren’t ideal on important routes like Quarry Street, closing the road lets us complete the work quicker, thus reducing overall disruption to the community and completing work in the safest and most efficient way.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and we thank you for your patience while we carry out these vital improvement works.”
