Carron Water Bridge [East Croft of Carmont]

I investigated this construction site on a Sunday morning (120720) while it was devoid of Story contractors. The River Carron has been temporarily diverted, hence the diesel pumps while the work takes place. I am assuming Network Rail were getting concerned about the foundations of the bridge at Dunnotar getting washed away when the Carron is in spate. I think there is another bridge further south, nearer to Carmont, also getting the treatment but it’s a lot harder to get access to, although I understand that Story are creating a road over the fields for access. I plan to revisit here to see how this work progresses.
