Road users will benefit from an improved road surface as BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, gets set to carry out resurfacing works on the A87 on Skye, at Annishader, North of Borve.
Starting from Wednesday 2 April, works will be carried out between the hours of 8pm and 5am each night, finishing on the morning of Saturday 5 April.
In order to protect the public and road workers, the A87 will be closed in both directions each night between 8pm and 5am. During periods of closure, amnesties will be available at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 2am and 4am to allow waiting vehicles to be escorted through the site safely.
Access to and from the Tote Junction between the A87 and the B8036 will also be accessible under amnesty during working hours.
Traffic management measures will be removed outwith working hours, however a reduced speed limit may remain in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.
Access for emergency services and bus timetables will be maintained for the full duration of the works.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said “These essential works involve resurfacing the road to make it more durable and resilient against inclement weather, as well as providing a safer road for road users. Refreshing the road markings will also improve visibility for drivers.
“We thank road users for their patience ahead of these road improvements.”
