BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out essential improvements at two locations on the A83 north of Cairndow from Monday 8 December between the hours of 7pm and 6am.
These carriageway improvements are expected to be completed by the morning of Thursday 18 December.
To protect the workforce, this section of the A83 will be subject to appropriate traffic management measures:
Glaschoine House: Temporary traffic light and a 10mph convoy will be operated overnight from Monday 8 December to the morning of Monday 15 December.
Ardgenavan: From Monday 15 December to Thursday 18 December, nighttime closures will be implemented with amnesties provided to allow road users to pass through the site safely at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and 5am.
There will be no works or road closure on Friday and Saturday nights.
Traffic management measures will be removed outwith working hours, however, a speed restriction of 30mph will remain in place during the day as traffic will be running on a temporary surface with no road markings.
Access through the works sites for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These works will help restore the condition of the road surface of this section of the A83, greatly improving driving conditions.
“Our teams are committed to executing these works quickly and with safety as our top priority. We thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.
“To minimise delays, we recommend that motorists plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”
