What We Are Doing
A short stretch of Crow Wood Terrace and Crow Wood Road will be closed for the duration of the project. A diversion will be in place via Laurelbank Road.
When new pipework is being installed along the A80, a short stretch of the road will be reduced to one lane westbound for around 3 months. The exact dates have yet to be confirmed but will be communicated as soon as it is possible to do so. The existing pathway along this stretch will be closed and a temporary walkway set up to allow safe passage and maintain access by foot.

Why We Are Doing This
The area has previously been affected by sewer flooding.
The work being done here will increase the capacity of the local waste water network and will provide extra storage during times of heavy rainfall.
