Network Rail is set to begin work on a £3.8 million investment on the rail bridge spanning the A8 at Saltmarket, near Glasgow Cross. The wrought-iron structure on the City Union Line is more than 150-years old and provides a route for freight traffic and a diversion route for passenger trains to Shields Depot where they are stabled and cleaned. Residents and businesses in the area have been advised of the work, which will involve noisy rivet-busting and grit-blasting activities, as well as metalwork repairs and painting.
