A DEADLY railway crossing which has claimed several lives looks set to be replaced by a new bridge over the line after council officers recommended its approval.
Plans by Network Rail Scotland for a new bridge at Delny in Easter Ross will go before Highland Council s north planning applications committee next week.
The existing crossing, near Barbaraville, has claimed several lives in recent decades â including a double fatality involving two local teenagers in 2007.
Rail line between Montrose and Stonehaven to remain shut until February 7 at least
Updated: 22/01/2021, 7:05 pm
The rail line between Stonehaven and Montrose will be closed until at least February 7.
The route has been shut since last Friday after a section of the rail bridge collapsed near Carmont and approximately one mile away from the scene of last summer’s fatal train derailment.
Now, Network Rail has confirmed that the line will remain closed for at least the next two weeks, and possibly longer.
Engineers have been on site since the incident, surveying the bridge and coming up with a plan to fix it.

A HVG struck the bridge on the B9157 just south of the village and it led to the train line via Aberdour being closed in both directions for more than two hours. The incident took place at around 4.30pm last night (Thursday). Network Rail Scotland announced at 5.34pm that its staff were at the site and the lorry had been moved clear, but would need to ensure the bridge was safe for trains to use before the line could re-open.
