Dumfries
A new £3.6m footbridge and lifts are now in place at Dumfries station.
That’s after Network Rail engineers worked through the night on Saturday (April 13) into Sunday to install the steel structures, which will provide step-free access to the platforms.
It’s part of a £3.6m Access for All scheme investment which aims to make it easier for people with impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children, or bicycles to travel by train.
The installation was completed using a 500-tonne crane and a 110-tonne crane to lift the superstructure into place.
This followed a successful inspection and trial build of the footbridge, fabricated in Annan by M&S Engineering Ltd, last month.
Work is now underway to complete the entire project, with the new lifts and bridge set to open to passengers this summer.
