A £16.9 million agreement has been reached between North Lanarkshire Council and Network Rail for a new rail bridge in Motherwell.
The new structure forms part of the work to upgrade the road connections between the town centre and Ravenscraig.
A new dual carriageway will be built from a new signalised roundabout at Airbles Road/Windmillhill Street to Robberhall Road at the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility.
