We are connecting Motherwell with Ravenscraig to enable the regeneration and development of the site.

To do this, we are removing a number of buildings on Windmillhill Street and Manse Road.

This work will let us improve the existing roundabout on Windmillhill Street and create a dual carriageway into Ravenscraig using the bridge that goes under the West Coast Main Line.

The contractor is continuing to demolish four buildings close to the roundabout at the top of Airbles Road at Windmillhill Street.

They started work in August to demolish and clear the buildings and all structures, including foundations at these former businesses.

What's been done on Manse Road?

Cook & Indi’s / Yesss Electrical

• completely demolished and the foundations have been removed.
• you might still see some equipment here a few weeks longer, due to associated work.

Whats happening now on Windmillhill Street?

The insides of these buildings on the site are being removed and we expect the buildings to start being demolished soon.

• Evans Halshaw Car showroom
• Evans Halshaw yard and building
• Stylista Hair Institute

They will also be required to take down and rebuild the listed boundary wall to the graveyard of the South Dalziel Historic Building.

When do we expect to finish?

Due to a slight delay at the start of the work we expect the work to finish mid-January 2025.

The site will be left cleared with:

• ground levels the same as adjacent areas
• any voids/basements/excavated areas will be filled in
• a secure boundary to each site

What we will expect the contractor to do

Dust

• follow regulations relating to dust exposure
• reduce airborne dust during demolition work

Noise

• follow regulations relating to noise levels
• not work outside normal working hours or create noise from the site on Sundays or Bank Holidays

Site security

• maintain a secure site all the time to prevent unauthorised access to the site
• make sure suitable measures between site operations and neighbouring areas are in place

Traffic and pedestrian management

• traffic control measures for site entry and exit points are agreed
• pedestrians are always kept safe
   

Although work is taking place near footpaths, we don't expect any to be closed. If this happens we will let you know.

The project is part of the wider infrastructure work required to support and enable regeneration and development of the site of the former Ravenscraig steelworks.
