Demolition of old girder bridge and decking at Merryton Junction before replacing with a new concrete structure in March 2005. This bridge carries the A72 Hamilton to Lanark Road. These works were carried out prior to the reopening of the Hamilton to Larkhall line. Ready for lift off with a wee bit of difficulty as the excavator had to loosen the girder a wee bit more.
