Single Lane Closure For Rock Slope Netting Improvements

BEAR Scotland has announced a single lane closure for 12 weeks as essential rock slope netting works for the A82 at Grotaig, Loch Ness, take place.

The closure, along with two-way traffic lights, will come into effect from Wednesday, October 23 with the aim of protecting road users and workers.

It may be necessary to stop traffic in both directions for a maximum of ten minutes during critical activities.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said: "The new rock slope netting will help to protect drivers and ensure the continued safe operation of the A82.

"We'll be working hard to complete the project as quickly and safely as possible. We thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete these essential road improvements.

"Please plan your journey in advance, especially if you are travelling between Invermoriston and Drumnadrochit."
