BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are set to carry out resurfacing works on the A85 West of Bridge of Awe from today, Thursday 22 January.
Works will be carried out between the hours of 7am to 7pm and are expected to be completed by the evening of Tuesday 27 January.
Due to the poor weather forecast, daytime resurfacing will not go ahead tomorrow, Friday 23 January. Works will resume on Monday 26 January. Please see new dates below in red.
To ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public, two way temporary traffic lights will be in place with a 10mph convoy. Outwith these hours traffic management will be removed however, a 30mph speed limit will remain in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.
Access for emergency services and scheduled bus services will be maintained for the full duration of the works.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “This resurfacing on the A85 west of Bridge of Awe will fix existing defects in the road surface and improve road markings, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users.
