Following recent resurfacing improvements, BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will be returning to complete road marking works on the A835 at Garve and Tarvie from Monday 7 July.
Works begin at Garve on Monday 7 July before moving to Tarvie on Tuesday 8 July. The works will be carried out between the hours of 8pm and 6am with all road marking expected to be completed by the morning of Wednesday 9 July, subject to weather conditions.
Due to the narrow carriageway widths and proximity to the railway level crossing on the A835, a full road closure will be in place during working hours to protect roadworkers and motorists. As there is no suitable diversion route for this section of the A835, vehicles will be held at either side of the work site until they can be escorted through the area safely during amnesty periods at 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 2am and 4am.
Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These road marking works on the A835 will complete the carriageway improvements carried out earlier this summer.
“We’ve taken steps to limit the overall impact of the project by carrying out the work overnight and by providing amnesty periods for traffic to pass.
“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as they can, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.traffic.gov.scot, X at @trafficscotland or the mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.
Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.
