The Central and Southern Scotland branch of the CIHT was pleased to be able to welcome CIHT President Geoff Allister to Scotland on Thursday 7 October.

During the day, Geoff was able to visit the M74 Completion Project in Glasgow, currently the largest ongoing civil engineering project in Scotland. The weather was kind for the visit and Geoff was accompanied on a tour of the site by CSS Branch Chair Claire Carr, Vice Chair John Robertson and Junior Vice Chair Andrew Davidson. Hosted by Interlink JV, the visit took in the most important aspects of the current works and included walks along sections of the route currently under construction.



In the evening, Geoff was the chief guest at the branch’s annual dinner. He joined more than 200 guests at the event held in the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow where the guest speaker, Scottish Government Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson, gave an entertaining and informative speech on the current issues facing transport in Scotland.
