OVERNIGHT SURFACING WORKS ON THE A87 BETWEEN INVERGARRY TO BUN LOYNE

May 7, 2025

  • Works begin on Tuesday 13 to Thursday 22 May 2025

 

Motorists using the A87 between Invergarry and Bun Loyne, will benefit from an improved road surface, with overnight works taking place in between 13 – 22 May 2025.

 

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out resurfacing improvements at three locations addressing defects in the road surface:

 

Location
Dates Closure Details
A87 at Glengarry Shinty Club Tuesday 13 to Tuesday 20 May The A87 will be closed between just after the public toilets and Invergarry Cemetery. Access to/from Rokeby Manor will be maintained via escort as it lies within the closure. A87 Westbound will have access up to Invergarry public toilets, A87 Eastbound will have access up to Invergarry Cemetery.
A87 at Faichem Bend Tuesday 20 to Wednesday 21 May The A87 will be closed at the bend between Invergarry and Glengarry Forestry area. Access will be maintained up to the closure points. A87 Westbound will have access until Invergarry Cemetery, A87 Eastbound will have access until Glengarry Forestry area.
A87 South of Bun Loyne Wednesday 21 to Thursday 22 May The A87 will be closed just north of Highland Titles Nature Reserve. A87 North and South will have access maintained up to the closure point.

 

Road closures will be in place from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 22 May between the hours of 7pm and 6am, with no works taking place on Friday or Saturday. Out with these hours traffic management will be removed, however a reduced speed limit may remain in place, as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.

 

During periods of closure, traffic will be diverted via the A82 and A887. Signage will be placed at Bun Loyne and Invergarry notifying of the closure, allowing traffic to use the diversion. Public buses & emergency services will be allowed through closures and should proceed to the manned closure points.

 

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said “These essential resurfacing works will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users as well as upgrading road markings to enhance road safety. We thank motorists for their patience ahead of these road improvements.”

 

The improvements will make the route more resilient to inclement weather and refresh the road markings.
