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.
