£470,000 OVERNIGHT SURFACING IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR A84 CALLANDER

Works set to begin from Sunday 28 February over three weeks

 

Two sections of the A84 located within Callander are set to benefit from an improved road surface with works planned to get underway from Sunday night.

The £470,000 programme of improvements will see over 1.2km of the A84 resurfaced, promoting a smoother and safer journey for motorists.

The improvements are scheduled to begin on Sunday 28 February and are expected to take place over three weeks with all work scheduled to be completed by the morning of Thursday 18 March, subject to weather conditions.

The intended programme of work is as follows:

 

  • A84 Callander (South End) – Sunday 28 February to Sunday 7 March (six nights, excluding Friday and Saturday nights)

A 10mph convoy system will be in place between 7pm and 7am each night.

 

  • A84 Callander (Main Street) – Monday 8 March to Monday 15 March (six nights, excluding Friday and Saturday nights)

A 10mph convoy system will be in place between 7pm and 7am each night.

 

  • A84 Callander road markings (South End and Main Street)– Tuesday 16 March to Wednesday 17 March (two nights)

Two-way temporary traffic lights in place between 7pm and 7am.

 

All traffic management will be removed outwith working hours.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s Representative for the North West, said: “This £470,000 investment from Transport Scotland will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety of these sections of the A84 for road users.

“The traffic management is essential for the safety of our teams and motorists, however we have taken steps to minimise disruption by carrying out the majority of the works overnight.

“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
