Network Rail is reminding residents and motorists of a road closure scheduled to take place at the
end of August in Wemyss Bay.
As part of a commitment to providing a safe and reliable railway, engineers will be conducting a
structural survey of the railway bridge (named A78 Old Shore Road) from 22:00hrs on Monday 26
August until 06:00hrs on Tuesday 27 August.
Signage will be in place ahead of the road closure with a diversion route in place via the A78 > A8 >
A761 > A737 > B777 > A760 & Vice Versa.
Coneworx on behalf of Network Rail will manage the closed section of road and will put out warning
signs in advance of the closure and diversion signs out during it.
Darren Dickson, Project Manager for Network Rail, said:
“The work we’re undertaking will provide vital information on the condition of this railway bridge is crucial for the long-term future reliability of the line. Working on the railway at night offers the safest environment for our teams and causes the least disruption to our passengers and freight trains. However, we understand the inconvenience this work will cause some people. We would like to thank those affected for their patience and understanding and offer assurances that every effort has been made to reduce the impact of our activities as much as possible"
