Commenting on the preparations for the closure of the Kerse Road Bridge on 8th January, Stirling East Councillor Chris Kane said,
“We’re all a little anxious about what’s to come, but I cannot fault the preparations by Stirling Council ahead of the closure. In Braehead, the speed activated signs on Pike Road are operational and we’ve got three new zebra crossings on Linden Avenue and Broom Road. It’s going to be a tough few months for Stirling but we’re all going to have to play our part; whether that’s drivers being mindful of their speed and their surroundings or all of us continuing to support the businesses in Springkerse. Now Network Rail must do their part, stick to the allotted timescale and get Stirling moving again as quickly as possible.”
