A before picture. Bridge 15 Larkhall, which carries the B7078 (old A74), having strengthening and masonry repairs carried out by South Lanarkshire Council Roads department staff. The picture shows pilot holes being drilled for stitching bars to be placed to prevent the cracks widening. This was an unusual job that I was in charge of prior to the line being reopened.
