Almost £300,000 is to be spent improving the A82 near Glencoe.
Resurfacing work starts on Sunday on part of the busy route at Loch Tulla near Bridge of Orchy and is expected to last for up to two weeks.
The £295,000 investment by Transport Scotland will see improvements to a section more than a mile long, with roadworks scheduled to take place between 7am and 7pm each day. No work is planned over the weekend with the exception of the first day.
The A82 will remain open throughout, but a 10mph convoy system of traffic management will be in place to allow the works to be carried out safely for the protection of motorists as well as road workers. The convoy system will be removed outside of working hours, but a temporary speed restriction of 30mph will remain as traffic will be running on a temporary surface.
Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West representative, said: “These essential works will improve the road surface at this section of the A82, and our teams will look to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.”
