Openreach has broken ground in Shotts where it aims to address most homes and businesses with a new fibre network.
Engineers have started work in the town and the build is expected to be complete over the next 12-18 months.
Morrison Telecom Services is helping Openreach to deliver the build in Shotts.
Robert Thorburn, Openreach’s Partnership Director for Scotland, said: “Shotts is part of our balanced build across Scotland, which includes more than 200 rural towns and villages.
“We want to make sure that progress is evenly spread and that people in all parts of Scotland can be online effortlessly and build opportunities in their community.”
Openreach’s network in Scotland now reaches 949,000 properties.
