Footbridge Repairs at Loch Leven and Milnathort
Last updated | 16/08/2008
Perth & Kinross Council would like to advise that work is due to start next week to repair two footbridges on the banks of the Back Burn and North Queich Burn in Milnathort.
Repairs to flood damage at both bridges will begin on Monday 18 August 2008 and are expected to last six weeks. The bridge at the Back Burn is on the old railway line path that provides access to cycle paths and the Loch Leven Heritage Trail, and the North Queich Burn crossing is on the Heritage Trail near Burleigh Sands.
Members of the public are asked to avoid the affected routes while work is in progress. The paths will be closed while work is taking place around the bridges. For the North Queich Burn bridge this will be during weekdays, but the Back Burn bridge crossing will be closed entirely for about a week to allow works on the bank to take place. Some weekend work may also be required and additional restrictions will be applied.
Public information signs about the works have been erected in the area, and will be updated to ensure open access is retained as much as possible.
