It follows the announcement last Friday (9 October) of a £20m investment in Cairngorm, by the Scottish Government and Highlands and Islands Enterprise to sustain Cairngorm as a year-round attraction and important national asset.
The investment includes the costs of reinstating the 2km funicular, which has been out of service since 2018 due to safety concerns.
Strengthening works to the supporting structure will include improvements to foundations, piers and beams, and replacement of bearings.
