Orbiston Viaduct
Work is now underway on a £1.1m project to protect Orbiston Viaduct in North Lanarkshire. Specialist engineers are removing material from the bed and banks of the river and around the viaduct’s foundations, as well as carrying out masonry repairs and ballast installation. Orbiston Viaduct was built in 1849 and today carries the West Coast Main Line over the South Calder Water at a height of 38 metres. It is north of Strathclyde Loch and between Uddingston and Motherwell.
