Due to restricted road widths through these sections of the A828, the carriageway will be closed in both directions on Sunday 13th November from 7pm to 7am, and Monday 14th November from 7pm to 7am to ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public. Amnesties at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm,12pm, 2am and 4am will allow waiting vehicles to be escorted through the site. Emergency service vehicles will be allowed to pass through the site at all times.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said: "These essential resurfacing works will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users."
"We thank motorists for their patience ahead of these road improvements."
