Latest Camelon roadworks underway - and due to last 13 weeks

From Monday to Friday this week a stretch of Glasgow Road from the Stirling Road roundabout to Redbrae Road has been closed to allow the carriageway to be resurfaced.

Now it has been revealed that there will be further roadworks on the same stretch of road as part of the upgrade in SP Energy Networks infrastructure from Bonnybridge to Bainsford substations.

This will involved cabling and chamber build leading to a need for rolling traffic light and lane narrowing along Glasgow Road and Main Street.

The work is scheduled to last for six days from July 30 to August 7.

However, Falkirk Council is also carrying out carriageway resurfacing on Camelon Main Street with the work expected to take up to 13 weeks.

The work began on Saturday, July 25 and are due to last until October 24.

A spokesperson for Falkirk Council said: "Council resurfacing works on Glasgow Road and Main Street in Camelon have now been completed.

"The diversion route for these works was inspected on Monday, July 20 and was in place at the time of the inspection. Further checks were carried out during the week and the arrangements were found to be acceptable.

"Separate utility works are also taking place in Camelon on behalf of Scottish Power through its contractor, WHP Telecoms. These works affect Glasgow Road and Main Street and began before the council's resurfacing programme.

"Scottish Power is responsible for the programme and traffic management arrangements for this project and should confirm its expected completion date."
