BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out essential drainage construction works on the A83 between Arrochar and Tarbet from Monday 29 July.
These drainage construction works will continue for five days between 8:30am and 4:30pm and will be completed on Friday 2 August.
Due to the nature of the works and to protect both road users and workers, it will be necessary to implement a temporary traffic management system by utilising two-way, and in some cases, three-way temporary traffic lights. It may be necessary to close the footway at times. During these periods pedestrians will be escorted through the site to ensure their safety.
Access through the worksite for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s Northwest Unit Representative said; “These essential drainage works between Arrochar and Tarbet Village on the A83 will improve the drainage system and reduce the risk of flooding on the trunk road.
“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as they can, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete these works.
“We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
