Teams will be setting up on site from today, 20 November, with construction work to install a new footbridge and lift system set to start work in early December.
Susan Menmuir, Network Rail's scheme project manager for Uddingston station's accessibility improvements said: "We are pleased to begin the construction phase of our project to install a new bridge with lifts at Uddingston station.
"The interest from the community in the project has been great and we are delighted to have developed a bridge that improves the passenger experience and delivers modern standards of access for those travelling to or from Uddingston.

"Over the coming months there will be a significant amount of construction activity at the station and we thank passengers and those working and living nearby for their patience as we deliver these essential improvements."
The works are being carried out to make it easier for those with limited mobility or travelling with children, luggage or cycles to move between the platforms.
Due to the complex nature of our activities, there will be a mixture of night and day working. We will be installing traffic management within the platform 2 carpark as well as diverting pedestrians around our compound to help keep everyone safe.
We urge everyone to please follow these temporary diversions which will be clearly signposted throughout the project.
Those living near the station will receive letters outlining key dates and milestones as the project progresses.
