A85 West of Loch Awe | Resurfacing Works
BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is set to carry out resurfacing on the A85 west of Lochawe, between Innis Chonain and Cruachan Power Station, from Monday 23 November.
Works will be carried out between the hours of 7am and 7pm and are expected to be completed by Wednesday 2 December.
To ensure the safety of the workforce and road users, a 10mph convoy will be in operation with two-way temporary traffic lights in place. Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours however, a 30mph speed limit will remain in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.
Access for emergency services will be maintained for the full duration of the works.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
Steve Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West Design Manager, said: “This resurfacing on the A85 west of Lochawe will fix existing defects in the road surface and improve road markings, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users.
“Our teams will carry out these works quickly, with safety as our top priority. We thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.”
