A85 Dalveich East Of Lochearnhead | Major Resurfacing Works
BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out major resurfacing works on the A85 at Dalveich, east of Lochearnhead, from Monday 7 September.
The works will take place between 19:00 and 06:00 and are expected to be completed by the morning of Friday 2 October. No works will take place on Friday or Saturday nights.
To protect road users, the A85 will be closed at the works location each working night. Hourly amnesties will be provided at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00, midnight, 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, 04:00 and 05:00, when waiting vehicles will be escorted safely through the site.
Access for emergency services and scheduled bus services will be maintained throughout the works.
Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of works to make them aware of traffic management arrangements and to minimise inconvenience.
Steve Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West Design Manager, said: “These resurfacing works on the A85 will address existing defects in the road surface and replace road markings, improving the quality and safety of the route.
“To carry out the resurfacing safely, overnight road closures with amnesty periods are necessary. We thank the local community and road users in advance for their patience while we complete these improvements.”
The works are weather dependent and any significant changes or delays to the programme will be advertised.
