Dumfries railway station bridge lowered into place

A new footbridge has been put in place at a historic railway station in southern Scotland.

There were concerns the structure could be “out of scale” with the B-listed Victorian buildings in Dumfries.

However, Network Rail’s plans for the site were approved in order to improve passenger access.

The new £3.6m structure was lowered into position at the weekend.

The installation required a 500-tonne crane and a 110-tonne crane to complete.
