Project overview
North East Water's duplicating a section of Rutherglen's trunk watermain to improve water supply to the town.
We'll be installing 790 metres of water pipeline from the Rutherglen clear water storage tank to Ready Street. The duplication will run mainly along the eastern side of Sheridans Bridge Road, then cross the intersection at High and Ready streets.
Works are expected to be underway between October and December 2024.
What to expect during construction
Traffic on Sheridans Bridge Road will be reduced to one lane during construction.
A traffic management plan will ensure traffic delays are kept to a minimum and safe access maintained for people entering and leaving adjacent properties.
