BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are due to start drainage improvements on the A82 at Achintore Road, heading into Fort William from the south.
The drainage improvements will involve culvert repairs as well as ditch clearing to improve drainage and make the trunk road more resilient against inclement weather, as well as providing a safer road for road users.
Work starts on Monday 10 February and is expected to be completed by the morning of Monday 3 March. No works will take place on Saturday or Sunday nights.
Works will be carried out between the hours of 8pm and 7am each night under two-way temporary traffic lights with a 10pmh convoy in place to guide traffic safely through the work site. Outwith these hours traffic management will be removed.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said “These essential drainage works will address existing drainage issues in this area, greatly improving the safety and quality of the road for motorists.
“We thank road users for their patience ahead of these improvements.”
