A82 Between Firkin Point and Inverarnan | Major Resurfacing

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are set to deliver a programme of resurfacing on the A82 at multiple locations between Firkin Point and Inverarnan.

Works will be carried out between 7pm and 6 am each working night and are expected to be completed by the morning of Thursday 12 November. No works will be carried out on Friday or Saturday nights. The project will be carried out in sections as follows:

To protect the workforce and members of the travelling public, traffic management restrictions will be necessary at each location to allow the works to proceed.

Except for the works north of Firkin Point, a road closure with a signed diversion route will be in place via the A82, A85, A819 & A83, adding 27 miles and approximately 52 minutes to the journey time for road users travelling between Tarbet and Crianlarich.

At north of Firkin Point, temporary traffic lights with a 10mph convoy will be in place.

Access for emergency services will be maintained for the full duration of the works.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Euan Burnett, BEAR Scotland’s North West Planned Maintenance Manager, said: “These resurfacing works on the A82, between Firkin Point and Inverarnan, will fix existing defects in the road surface and replace road markings, improving the quality of the route for road users.

“To undertake the carriageway resurfacing safely, road closures with the use of a diversion are necessary at all but one location, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance of the work commencing.”
