Transport Scotland has announced that it has commissioned BEAR Scotland to carry out resurfacing and civils works on a stretch of the A86 carriageway at Kinloch Laggan in the Highlands, with a total length of 872m and total area of 0.51ha.
Carriageway resurfacing will involve milling out and replacement of up to 300mm of bituminous material. Following the resurfacing works, road markings will be reinstated. Civils works will involve ditching, with all bollards within the scheme to be replaced. Works are required to address surface and structural deterioration of the trunk roads.
The resurfacing works will continue for 10 nights, following an overnight working pattern (20:00-08:00). The civils works are likely to directly follow resurfacing however the start date and duration are still to be confirmed. The civils works will follow a daytime working pattern (07:00-19:00). Changes in the programme may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement dates.
Localised traffic management will comprise road closure with regular amnesties, with control of junctions where required.
