The carriageway along the A830 will benefit from an improved road surface as resurfacing works are set to take place in two places.

The surfacing improvements will involve resurfacing the road to make it more durable and resilient against inclement weather, as well as providing a safer road for road users. The works are required to address deteriorating road surface conditions here as well as improve road markings.

The works are set to commence at 7pm on Sunday 6 October and are expected to finish on Friday 11 October at 7am. Outwith these hours all traffic management will be removed and a 30mph speed limit will be in place for traffic travelling over the temporary surface.

Due to the restricted road widths through this section of the A830, a full road closure will be in place in both directions between 7pm and 7am each night. During periods of closure, amnesties at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, 12pm, 2am and 4am will allow waiting vehicles to be escorted through the site. Emergency service vehicles will be allowed to pass through the site throughout the working period. The A861 Junction will remain open throughout the works.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said “These essential resurfacing works will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users as well as upgrading road markings to enhance road safety. We thank motorists for their patience ahead of these road improvements.”
