Rannoch Viaduct
Network Rail has completed its £1.6m project to complete essential upgrade works on Rannoch viaduct.
Work to extend the operational lifespan of the structure took place during a nine-day closure of the line, from Saturday 16 March until Monday 25 March.
The investment is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and reliability of the railway for years to come.
Work included:
Replacing 50 longitudinal timbers (way beams) which support the rail going over the 208m steel bridge. The softwood timbers are life expired and now need to be replaced
Renewing the timbers with hardwood and replacing the existing baseplates and rail
Replacing rail throughout the structure
