The storm had caused major disruption on Greenwood Avenue, with specialist teams tasked with removing the debris alongside clearing vegetation before it was re-opened last week.
Vital work aimed at fully re-opening a key road and paths in Stirling city centre has been completed.
And residents have been thanked for their patience and understanding during the essential repairs.
Stirling Council have announced the completion of works to clear rockfall and fully re-open a key road and paths in the centre following a storm last year.
Large rocks had fallen onto Greenwood Avenue in the wake of Storm Eowyn, necessitating closures to the road and pathway network due to safety concerns.
Specialist works to remove fallen rocks and debris in addition to clearing vegetation and loose rocks from the nearby slopes were carried out in March by Stirling Council engineers, working alongside SG Access and Fairhurst. Stirling Council’s Roads Team subsequently resurfaced the affected area of road at Greenwood Avenue.
Greenwood Avenue and the Back Walk Low Path between Clarendon Road and Victoria Road have since reopened to traffic and pedestrians. Work remains ongoing to assess further issues on the nearby slopes and at the Back Walk beneath Stirling Castle which currently remains closed.
Environment, Transport and Net Zero Convener, Cllr Alasdair Tollemache said: “I’d like to thank residents for their understanding and patience while works took place to address a significant safety risk posed by loose rock and fallen trees on the slopes at the Back Walk.
“Recent extreme weather events have elevated the risk to public safety in this area and further works will ensure that we will be able to fully reopen the Back Walk to pedestrians in due course.”
