Dumfriesshire Road to Close for Two Weeks for Water Network Survey
In early January, a section of road in Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, will be closed for approximately two weeks to allow for essential work on the water network. Scottish Water has announced plans for this project as part of their ongoing efforts to evaluate and plan for future investment needs in the area.
The work will commence on Monday, January 6, and will involve digging a small section of the road near Ardmair and the railway bridge to conduct a detailed survey of the network. The closure will be in effect from 9am to 5pm each day to ensure the safety of both workers and the public during the survey conducted by Caledonia Water Alliance for Scottish Water. Any areas under construction will be securely fenced off for safety measures.
Scottish Water has advised that while the survey work is in progress, there may be times when there appears to be limited activity at the site. Once the work is completed, the road will be fully repaired and restored to its original condition. In anticipation of any inconvenience caused by the road closure, Scottish Water has expressed gratitude to residents and road users for their patience and understanding during this necessary period of work.
This project highlights the commitment of Scottish Water to maintaining and improving the water network infrastructure in Thornhill and demonstrates their dedication to delivering high-quality services to the local community.
