Update on 23 June 2026: Work on the A82 north of Fort Augustus has now been completed, two days ahead of schedule. Final information below.

• Six overnight road closures from Sunday 14 June

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, has carried out a programme of resurfacing works on the A82 north of Fort Augustus, which started on Sunday 14 June.

The works took place overnight between 8pm and 6am, with no work on Friday or Saturday nights. The project was completed on the morning of Tuesday 23 June.

To ensure the safety of both the workforce and the travelling public, the A82 was closed during working hours. A fully signposted diversion route suitable for trunk road traffic was in place, directing vehicles from Invergarry to Invermoriston via the A887 and A87. This diversion will add approximately 15 miles and 22 minutes to journey times.

BEAR Scotland consulted with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience. Access for emergency services and scheduled bus services will be maintained for the full duration of the works.

Steve Taylor, BEAR Scotland’s North West Design Manager, said: “These resurfacing works on the A82 north of Fort Augustus will address existing carriageway defects and allow for the installation of new road markings, significantly improving road surface quality and safety for road users.

“Our teams will carry out these works as efficiently as possible, with safety as our highest  priority, and we  thank the local community and road users for their patience while these essential improvements are completed.”

Road users are advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow additional time when travelling during the works. Real-time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.traffic.gov.scot, X @trafficscotland or on the mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.

The works are weather-dependent, and any significant changes to or delays in the programme will be communicated in advance.
