Following the successful installation of a new 5,000 tonne bridge on the West Coast main line last month, Scotland's Railway continues to help transform communities beyond the Ravenscraig construction project.

Network Rail welcomed Central Scotland MSP, Graham Simpson, to the site of a new bridge that will be installed under the West Coast Main Line at Motherwell to hear first-hand about progress on the work to date. Once in place, the bridge allows the Council to build a new dual carriageway from Airbles Road/Windmillhill Street to Robberhall Road to connect to the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, as part of a wider programme to open up the area for future development.

Story Contracting has been picked to build a £16.9m bridge to carry the West Coast Main Line as part of road improvements between Motherwell and Ravenscraig.

North Lanarkshire Council has agreed the project with Network Rail. A new dual carriageway will be built from a new signalised roundabout at the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility and the bridge will be constructed to lift the railway line over the new road.

[This location for this bridge is east of the Dalzell Steel Works by the site of the former Dellburn Works. A railway formerly passed under the WCML here serving Dalzell New Yard from Motherwell South Junction. -RS]
