BEAR Scotland has announced a programme of essential surfacing improvements on the A82 North of Nevis Range, with works set to get underway on Tuesday 17 January.

The project will see sections of the A82 at Nevis Range resurfaced, creating a smoother and safer road for motorists.

The project is scheduled to take place over one day, with works planned between 7am and 7pm. All works are anticipated to be complete by 7pm on Tuesday 17 January subject to weather conditions.


To ensure the safety of roadworkers as well as motorists, a 10mph convoy system will be in place during working hours.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland's North West Representative, said: "These maintenance works on the A82 at Nevis Range will help address defects and greatly improve the surface for road users.

"The use of convoy traffic management during working hours is essential to ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists.

"We thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete this project. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information."

Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
