BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, has made significant progress on the ongoing rockslope stabilisation works at the A828 Ledaig.

On the northern section of the rockslope, installation of the rockfall protection mesh is now largely complete, with the remaining rock anchors currently being installed. Minor works are still required to complete the stitching of the mesh. Once complete, this will allow the temporary barrier systems used during construction to be removed.

Subject to favourable weather conditions and continued progress on site, this phase of the works is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026.

Following completion of the current activities, work at the site will pause while BEAR Scotland’s geotechnical specialists finalise the design for the next and final phase of the project. 24-hour traffic lights will remain in place during this period to maintain the safety of both road users and the workforce.

Further information on the final phase of the scheme will be shared in the coming weeks once proposals have been confirmed.

Michael Baxter, BEAR Scotland’s North West Improvements Scheme Manager said: “BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland remain committed to delivering these essential works to improve the long-term resilience and safety of the A828 corridor.

“We are pleased with the progress being made on the A828 Ledaig rockslope stabilisation project, with substantial work now completed on the northern section of the slope.

“We would like to thank road users, local communities and stakeholders for their continued patience and cooperation while these essential safety improvements are carried out. We look forward to providing further details on the final phase of the project in due course.”
