Kelvin Walkway's Danger Sign

Jogging on Kelvin Walkway on the morning of 9th February, I was stopped in my tracks by a fencing closing off the path with "Danger" sign displayed, near the Botanic Gardens at Garrioch Drive.

Fence blocking off the Kelvin Walkway for safety reasons.

Council staff have advised that the section of Kelvin Walkway to Garrioch Drive has been closed for safety reasons. There is "Longitudinal cracking" identified within the path above the River Kelvin. The path must remain closed until investigations can be completed by the Council.

 

I am very concerned to ensure this path is reopened as soon as possible as it is an important route for walkers and cyclists from across the west end.
