🏗️ This weekend, Port Glasgow’s new footbridge will be installed. To do it safely, all station entrances will close overnight on Sat 22 and Sun 23. @Inverclyde’s Highholm Ave Park and Ride will close from 06:00 Thu 20 until 06:00 Mon 24, so we can position the crane! @ScotRail

The nearby park and ride on Highholm Avenue will be shut from July 20 until Monday 24 while the crane which will lift the new footbridge into place is positioned.
The work is part of a major £5m transformation project currently being carried out at the station.
In addition to the new footbrigde, the programme of works will also see the installation of new lifts and ramped access to the main station entrance at Princes Street.
The aim is to make the station easier to access for people with impaired mobility, including wheelchair users, plus parents with buggies and people with luggage.
