Enjoy a bird's-eye view of ground-breaking work on Bishopbriggs Relief Road as work continues on the new section.
That's the offer to people and businesses as the next phase of the road takes shape - paving the way for community and economic benefits.
Video updates are now available on the Council's YouTube channel.
The Council-led project involves the creation of:
- A two-lane 50mph road - stretching 600 metres between Wester Cleddens Roundabout and a new roundabout, with another 100 metres of road on the north side of the railway
- A new bridge over the main Edinburgh-Glasgow railway line
- Dedicated walking/cycling route and bridge
- A new access road into Cadder Yard
- Two Sustainable Urban Drainage ponds.
Once phase four is complete, the existing stretch of Westerhill Road and bridge will be used as an active travel corridor - becoming a haven for walking and cycling.
The project is part of the Council's 10-year capital programme and is being part-funded through developers' contributions from the Bishopbriggs East housing development. The scheme has been designed and project managed by AECOM.
Morrison Construction is the contractor appointed by the Council, with a number of community benefits, including employment opportunities, school placement programme with Bishopbriggs Academy and Turnbull High, and work/graduate placements.
The centrepiece of the £6.5m fourth phase is a new bridge over the railway line and the project team have liaised with Network Rail to fit in with the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme.
It is hoped the new stretch of road could be open as early as May 2017, with the entire project on track to be completed by 1 August.
Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said, "I am delighted to say that work is forging ahead to deliver the fourth phase of Bishopbriggs Relief Road.
"I would encourage everyone with access to the Internet to check out the Council's YouTube channel, where you can see monthly videos - shot from a drone overhead - illustrating the scale and progress of the scheme.
"The new stretch of road will help to cut congestion, support new investment, improve air quality and encourage active travel.
"There has been disruption since work began in July, but we thank the people and businesses of Bishopbriggs for their patience.
"When phase four is finished, the existing Westerhill Road and bridge will become an active travel corridor for pedestrians and cyclists - linking north and south Bishopbriggs. It's going to be absolutely fantastic."
- Phases one and two of the relief road - which are largely within the Glasgow boundary - are complete and connect drivers to the Robroyston roundabout and onto the M80.
- Phase three was wholly funded by developers’ contributions and delivered by Taylor Wimpey as part of the planning obligations associated with its Bishopbriggs East housing development. It opened in summer 2014.
