Repair Work On Section Of Dunrod Road Complete

Construction News Image
Repair work on a collapsed section of road which links to an Inverclyde beauty spot has been completed.

Work on a section of Dunrod Road at the junction of Old Largs Road near to Greenock Cut Visitor Centre has been repaired.

Inverclyde Council recently created a temporary bypass before permanent repairs were carried out.

The project included the installation of drainage underneath the road connecting to a new filter drain.

A retaining structure was also built and the carriageway resurfaced.

Councillor Michael McCormick, Inverclyde Council's convener of environment and regeneration, said: "We recognise the importance of Dunrod Road and as a link to Greenock Cut Visitor Centre, which is such an important visitor attraction for people from near and far.

"The road was affected by erosion from the loch and flooding on top of the usual wear and tear so a suitable long-term solution had to be found.

"A lot of work has taken place behind the scenes to develop a plan and it's great that these improvements have been made and that the road has now reopened."

The section of road links to the Greenock Cut Visitor Centre, which is one of two Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park sites managed by Inverclyde Council along with Lunderston Bay near Gourock.

The local authority has invested more than £500,000 across both sites in recent times to improve existing facilities to enhance the visitor experience.

A separate section of Dunrod Road close to Shielhill Farm has also been affected by extreme weather and other factors which resulted in a partial failure of the road.

The council has set aside almost £2 million to address the issues there and officers are currently progressing site investigations and surveys prior to preparing detailed designs.
