DRAINAGE INVESTIGATION WORKS ON THE A83/A82 IN TARBET

August 28, 2024

  • Drainage investigation works planned for one day on Friday 6 September

  • Temporary traffic lights between 9:30am and 4pm

 

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out essential drainage investigation works on the A83, at the junction with A82, at Tarbet Hotel, Tarbet on Friday 6 September.

 

These drainage investigation works will last for one day between the hours of 9:30am and 4pm.

 

Due to the nature of the works and to protect both the workforce and road users, it will be necessary to implement a temporary traffic management system using two-way and/or three-way temporary traffic lights. It may also be necessary to close sections of the footway at certain times, with diversions around the works area in place for pedestrians 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 drainage investigation works will provide valuable information regarding the condition of the current drainage assets as well as clearing any blockages found within the drainage system. This will hopefully alleviate current levels of flooding on the carriageway and footway, providing a more accessible route for residents and users of the carriageway.”

 

“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.”
