Project to begin from Sunday 10 April for 11 nights
A section of the A83 north of Bellochantuy is set to benefit from an improved road surface with work set to get underway on Sunday 10 April at 8pm.
The project will see improvements completed over a 1km section of the A83, creating a safer and smoother journey for road users.
The overnight project is programmed to begin on Sunday 10 April and is expected to take 11 nights to complete. The improvements will take place between 8pm and 5am each night. No works will be carried out from Wednesday 13 April to Sunday 17 April due to Easter or on the nights of Friday 22 and Saturday 23 April. The works are expected to be complete by 5am Wednesday 27 April, subject to weather conditions.
Due to the narrow road widths associated with the A83 at this location, work will be carried out using a full road closure to protect operatives and road users. Amnesty periods will be provided at 9pm, 10pm, midnight, 2am and 4am. All road users are encouraged to arrive prior to these times to ensure they are accommodated within the amnesty period. The A83 will remain open outwith working hours; however, reduced speed limits will be in place and road users should drive with care as they will be running on a temporary road surface.
Emergency services will be able to pass through the works at all times. Local access for residents and scheduled bus services will be maintained as far as reasonably practicable.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the plans and share information about the project in advance.
Commenting on the improvements, Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “This surfacing project on the A83 north of Bellochantuy will help address any defects and greatly improve the surface for motorists.
“The overnight closures are essential due to the narrow width of the road. We’ve taken steps to limit the overall impact of the project by carrying out the work overnight and providing amnesty periods for road users to pass.
“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
