Highland Council To Begin Inshes Roundabout Resurfacing Works

The Highland Council has announced plans to carry out essential road resurfacing works on Inshes Roundabout in Inverness.

The project is scheduled to begin on Sunday, 17 August 2025, and will extend over six consecutive nights, with work taking place between 7pm and 6am to reduce impact on traffic.

Efforts have been made to minimise disruption by timing the works after the main school holidays and towards the end of the peak tourist season in August.
