Bridge beams installed at Aurs Road
A significant milestone has been achieved on our Aurs Road project with the successful installation of concrete bridge beams for the new Brock Burn road bridge.
Published: 21 January 2025
Shown in the video - nine, 17-metre -long pre-cast beams were successfully installed over two days using a 500-tonne capacity crane.
Construction of the new 600-metre-long active travel route's retaining wall is progressing alongside the construction of a new reservoir culvert structure through the existing Balgray reservoir dam.
The new road is also taking shape with ongoing drainage works continuing throughout the scheme.
Aurs Road is expected to reopen in Summer 2025.
The project is funded via the Glasgow City Region City Deal, Transport Scotland through Sustrans' Places for Everyone programme, the Scottish Government's Bridge Fund and developer contributions.
