NETWORK Rail is to move onto the next phase of its £4 million project to improve the railway between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan – with the work due to complete in May.
Engineers have been delivering structural upgrades, masonry and drainage repairs, and signage improvements since January.
The next phase involves more significant activity that can only take place when trains aren’t running. This includes concreting work and repairs at Kippen Ross tunnel, deck replacement and steel work repairs to a footbridge at Bridge of Allan, and strengthening the sides of the bridge at Mill of Keir Viaduct.
Owen Ferry, project manager at Network Rail Scotland, said, “Reaching this part of the project is an important step in securing the long‑term resilience of the railway.
“Our teams will be working around the clock to strengthen key structures and ensure the route continues to serve passengers and freight reliably for years to come.
“We’re grateful to everyone for their patience while these essential improvements take place.”
