Once the shaft is filled, work will begin on reconstructing the road.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Marples, Head of Public Safety and Subsidence for the Coal Authority, said that work to repair the collapse in Kilbowie Road has already begun.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThe unrecorded shaft at Kilbowie Road is one of our top operational priorities and our prime concern is the safety of the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur engineers have designed a solution to safely fill the shaft and repair the road and we\u2019re working with West Dunbartonshire Council and the utility companies on our proposals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis particular repair is complicated by the exposed utility services within the 62 metre deep void, which we\u2019re working to protect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our experience, the work will take between 6 to 8 weeks to complete and cost in the region of \u00a3250,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aim is get the road re-opened as soon as possible to minimise the impact on local residents and traffic.
