• Works planned for Tuesday 31 January will now begin on Tuesday 7 February.
• The project will take three nights to complete.
• A full road closure will be in place, with amnesties.

Please be advised that overnight resurfacing works planned for the A835 Rogie to Tarvie, north of Contin, which were due to start on Tuesday 31 January, will now begin on Tuesday 7 February for 3 nights. The works will continue for three nights, between 8pm and 6am.

The project will involve resurfacing a 423m stretch of carriageway, on a section of the A835 which is used by around 6,000 vehicles every day and now requires upgrading. The £140,000 investment by Transport Scotland will ensure that the A835 continues to operate safely for years to come.

Due to the narrow carriageway widths on the A835, and to protect roadworkers and road users, a full road closure will be implemented for the works.  As there is no suitable diversion route for this section of the A835, vehicles will be held at either side of the work site until they can be escorted through the area safely using set amnesty periods (when work is suspended) at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, 12am, 2am and 4am. The A835 will be open after working hours to keep disruption to a minimum, with a speed restriction of 30mph in place as traffic will be running over a temporary surface.

Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) approved methods.

Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
