What We Are Doing

We are installing nearly 500 metres of new sewer in three phases over approximately nine months.

Phase 1: Raebog Road (in grass verge) between Dunvegan and Windsor Drive

Phase 2: Coatbridge Road, Glenmavis Road and the field upstream of Woodhead Crescent

Phase 3: Glenmavis Road (including the site compound for the whole project)

The new sewer will be installed using ‘rolling’ traffic management along Glenmavis Road and onto Coatbridge Road.

Rolling traffic management will be deployed

Site Compound

Why We Are Doing It

The project will deliver benefits for existing customers by reducing the risk of sewer flooding and will also support sustainable new housing in the local area.

Scottish Water is committed to supporting sustainable growth and delivering much-needed improvements for communities and the environment to meet the challenges of climate change, ageing assets and increasing demand.

Update January 2025

We have now completed the installation and connection of a new storage pipe in the grass verge between Dunvegan and Windsor Drive.

In order to complete final reinstatement works, it will be necessary to close the entrance to Windsor Drive at the junction of B803 Raebog Road from Monday 3rd February 2025 to Friday 7th February 2025.

A diversion will be in place, and once complete, all existing traffic management will be removed from this area.

The work to install a new sewer along Glenmavis Road and Coatbridge Road is progressing well, however two new manholes are required to be installed at the top of Glenmavis Road. In order to complete the work safely, a road closure will be required from Monday 10th February until Friday 21st February 2025.

A significant diversion will be in place so please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey during this time. Pedestrian access to local businesses will still be available during the works, however parking restrictions will be in place.

We have arranged for a replacement bus service to run from Waddell Drive, Glenmavis to Stirling Street, Airdrie during the road closure on Glenmavis Road. The timetable can be downloaded below.

Following the road closure, work will continue along Coatbridge Road in the direction of Raebog Road with temporary traffic lights in place.

We would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding.
