BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is continuing rockslope stablisation works on the A828 between Ledaig and Benderloch, approximately two miles north of Connel Bridge.
The next phase of works is currently underway and is expected to last for up to six months. This phase will involve the installation of a temporary working platform to provide safe access to the northern section of the slope. Once in place, teams will carry out a range of stabilisation activities, including the removal of loose rock, and the installation of netting and rock anchors.
To facilitate this work and ensure the safety of both the workforce and road users, temporary traffic lights will remain in place 24 hours a day for the duration of the works. During certain critical activities, there may be occasions when traffic is held for short periods.
Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times.
A further phase of works will be required to address the final section of the rock slope. Options for this phase are currently being developed by BEAR Scotland’s geotechnical specialists in collaboration with Transport Scotland. Further information will be shared once these plans have been finalised.
Michael Baxter, BEAR Scotland’s North West Improvements Scheme Manager said: “These works are essential to ensure the long‑term safety and resilience of the route, and this next phase enables us to carry out critical stabilisation works safely and effectively.
“Our teams are committed to progressing the works as efficiently as possible. We wish to thank local residents, businesses, and road users for their continued patience and understanding while these vital safety improvements are delivered on this key route.”
