Please be advised that there is a revised programme for resurfacing works which will take place on the A83 south of Ardrishaig. The works were planned to begin on Thursday 3 November but due to inclement weather, will now start on Sunday 6 November, ending on Sunday 27 November.
Times and traffic management arrangements will remain the same.
The project will see improvements made over a 1km section of the A83, creating a safer and smoother journey for road users.
The enhancements will take place on 16 nights, from Sunday to Thursday each week between 6 and 27 November and will be complete by 5am on Monday 28th November, subject to weather conditions. Works are scheduled between 7pm and 5am each night, with no works on Friday or Saturday nights.
Due to the narrow road widths at this location on the A83, work will be carried out using a full road closure to ensure the safety of operatives and road users. There will be amnesty periods at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, midnight, 2am and 4am. Motorists are encouraged to arrive prior to these times to ensure they are accommodated within the amnesty period.
To help keep disruption to a minimum the A83 will remain open during the daytime, between 5am and 7pm. 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.
Commenting on the improvements, Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “This second phase of carriageway resurfacing works at Brenfield Bay will help address any defects and greatly improve the surface for motorists.
“The overnight closures are essential to ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists due to the narrow widths of the road at these locations. We’ve taken steps to limit the overall impact of the project by carrying out the work overnight.
“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. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
