BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out essential drainage investigation works on the A83 in Lochgilphead, between the Esso Garage on Paterson Street, and Kilmory Industrial Estate with works planned to commence on Wednesday 11 September for two nights.
These drainage investigation works are programmed to be undertaken overnight between 7pm and 6am on both nights.
Due to the nature of the works and to protect both roadusers and the workforce, temporary traffic lights will be in place. It may also be necessary to close the footway at certain times, however, diversions around the works area will be 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 North West 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.”
“We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
