Bothwell is a largely residential village between Uddingston and Hamilton, bounded by the Clyde on one side and the M74 on the other. The Raith interchange, where the A725 passes beneath the motorway, is immediately to the south, and the remodelling and upkeep of that junction and its drainage ponds has generated civil engineering work for years.
In the village the work is on a smaller scale and often more sensitive. Individual house plots, flatted developments and extensions on mature streets mean skips, grab lorries and concrete wagons on roads lined with parked cars, and neighbours notice mud quickly. Factors of private estates, the hotels and restaurants on Main Street, and the motorway service area nearby also have hard surfaces to maintain.
Coverage in and around Bothwell
The area covered from a Bothwell enquiry includes Uddingston, Bothwellhaugh and Strathclyde Country Park, Blantyre across the Clyde, and Bellshill and Hamilton along the A725. Operators are well placed for the motorway here, but residential access can be tight, and each job is confirmed subject to a suitable vehicle being available.
