LUSSET Park in Old Kilpatrick has been closed to the public due to ongoing engineering works on the Erskine Bridge.

In early March SGN began work to replace pipelines suspended within the deck structure of the bridge.

And from last Monday, April 16, the park by Station Road and its car park was closed and will remain closed throughout 2018.

However, a new temporary car park has been created, located 300m to the north on the road to Kilpatrick Braes.

Pedestrian and cycling access to Old Kilpatrick Bowling Club, Kilpatrick Railway Station and the Western path on the Erskine Bridge will remain open throughout.

SGN confirmed that once the project is complete, it will be reinstating Lusset Park and its car park.
