BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, is carrying out overnight resurfacing work for the A86 just outside Kingussie, heading west towards Newtonmore, from Wednesday 13 September. The work will take place over three nights: Wednesday 13 September, Thursday 14 September and Sunday 17 September.
The improvements will enhance surface durability, making the road more resilient in inclement weather conditions and providing a safer driving experience for all users.
The A86 will be closed in both directions each night from 8pm to 6am during the roadworks. There will be designated amnesties at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 2am, and 4am when drivers will be safely allowed to pass through the work site.
Bus services will operate throughout the closures, maintaining regular schedules. Emergency services will have access through the closures at all times.
Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said, “These essential resurfacing works will significantly improve road quality and safety for all. We appreciate motorists’ patience during these enhancements.”
