@ScotRoadArchive I remember working on it when the last bridge was completed and driving from Fullerton Rd to Kinning Park end and thinking this will make some difference.

@ScotRoadArchive D8K tractors and scraper boxes, RB 22 dragline and possibly a JCB excavator on the plant side, looks a bit damp for the scrapers

@ScotRoadArchive Big changes on the left, Safeway well gone,also the silver building which was an event space, can’t remember name, gone, worked on the earthworks for the Safeway, infilled the surrounding roads to form it.

@ScotRoadArchive Quite a big junction when you see it without trees, road home most nights

After 17 years with us and at the age of 70! Retirement is well earned, all the best from all at Eastford, Wully, always a place here for you, thank you from everyone.

@ScotRoadArchive Worked on it for a few months with D8s and boxes

[Eastford Excavations @EastfordEx]

@ScotRoadArchive Not much changed there! Dick Hampton was the earth works company who shaped most of Cumbernauld back in the 60s, they said it was the job that they lost a fortune on due to the weather, they where also the earthworks contractor on the M74 at Hamilton around the same time.

@ScotRoadArchive It must have been a massive difference for the HGV drivers of the day

[Eastford Excavations @EastfordEx]

@ScotRoadArchive The days before drones! Climb up onto a silo for best view.

[Eastford Excavations @EastfordEx]

@ScotRoadArchive Good selection of plant there, Cat D6, Cat 941, JCB 3C and what looks like a JCB 812 at top I think.

[Eastford Excavations @EastfordEx]

@AB2Kplant All the best to you both, well done.

[Eastford Excavations @EastfordEx]

@ScotRoadArchive Remember driving from end to end after last bridge was connected and thinking what a difference this will make.
