• Works to commence on Thursday 26 February 2026
• Temporary traffic lights with convoy for the first half of the village
• Road closure with hourly amnesties for the second half of the village

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out overnight carriageway resurfacing works on the A83 trunk road west of Tarbet, through the village of Arrochar.

Set to enhance road safety and surface conditions for road users, these works are planned to start on the night of Thursday 26 February between the hours of 19:00 and 06:00.

To protect the workforce, this section of the A83 will be subject to appropriate traffic management measures:

• Arrochar Phase 1: Temporary traffic lights and a 10mph convoy will be operated overnight from Thursday 26 February until the morning of Monday 09 March.
• Arrochar Phase 2: From Monday 09 March to the morning of Monday 23 March,overnight closures will be in place with amnesties provided to allow road users to pass through the site safely at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and 5am.

There will be no works taking place on Friday and Saturday nights, or on Sunday 01 March.

Traffic management measures will be removed out with working hours. However, speed restrictions will remain in place during the day as traffic will be running on a temporary surface with no road markings.

Access through the works sites for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These works will help restore the condition of the road surface of this section of the A83, greatly improving driving conditions.

“Our teams are committed to executing these works quickly and with safety as our top priority. We thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete the improvements.

“To minimise delays, we recommend that motorists plan their journeys in advance by consulting the Traffic Scotland website for real-time travel updates.”
