Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said. "This project will help improve the road surface on this section of the A82 near Fort William, creating a safer and smoother journey for motorists

"We've taken steps to help minimise disruption for road users as much as possible during the project by programming works to avoid the weekend period. The traffic management in place is essential for ensuring the safety of road workers and road users, however our teams will do all they can to complete the project as quickly and safely as possible.
