Refurbishments are to start on the Erskine Bridge next week.

Transport Scotland is investing £3.25m to carry out lighting and electrical refurbishments on the A898 at Erskine Bridge commencing on Monday.

The works will be carried out by Lightways (Contractors) Ltd and managed by Scotland TranServ and are planned for approximately 20 weeks.

Internal and bridge deck lighting will be replaced along with lamps on the south approach to the bridge.

High mast lights at the north of the bridge will also be switched to modern efficient LED lamps, which will enhance night-time driving visibility and also reduce energy usage by over 50 per cent.
