Dingwall's crossings work is on track

Full barriers will be installed to improve safety for train passengers, pedestrians and motorists.

Dingwall Middle crossing is protected by a single barrier on each carriageway. Dingwall No.1, on Craig Road, is an open crossing, with no barriers. Both have been subject to trespass incidents and close calls.

The crossings are in the process of being upgraded to full barrier crossings, which include traffic lights, two single lane barriers on each side of the crossing and an object detection system.

The final installation and testing work requires road closures. The closure of Dingwall Middle is under way, with Dingwall No.1 to follow immediately afterwards.

Dingwall Middle at Newton Road will be completed on Monday, November 12.

Dingwall No.1 at Craig Road will be worked on from Monday, November 12 to 26.

Train services will not be affected, Network Rail said in a statement.
