• 24-hour two-way traffic lights remain in place for rockslope stabilisation works until Monday 1 June

• Overnight road closures for resurfacing begin Tuesday 2 June

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is making good progress on essential rock slope stabilisation works on the A82 at the Meeting of Three Waters, approximately six miles east of Glencoe Village.

The current traffic management arrangements will remain in place until Monday 1 June. These include two-way traffic lights and a 30mph speed restriction. During safety-critical activities, the traffic lights will be used to stop traffic in both directions for up to 10 minutes. Access to adjacent laybys will also be restricted for the duration of these works.

Following completion of the stabilisation works, a programme of carriageway resurfacing works will immediately follow. These works will take place from 7pm to 6am each night, from Tuesday 2 June to the morning of Saturday 6 June.

To ensure the safety of both the workforce and road users, the A82 will be fully closed in both directions each night during  the carriageway resurfacing operation. Scheduled amnesty periods will be provided at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 2am and 4am, when waiting vehicles will be escorted safely through the works.

Further resurfacing works on the A82 at several locations between Loch Tulla and the Three Sisters are planned for later in the year and further details will be shared in due course.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Euan Burnett, BEAR Scotland’s North West Planned Maintenance Manager, said:
“The works  proposed on the A82 will address existing defects in the road surface and enhance road markings, greatly improving quality and safety for road users.

“Our teams will deliver these works as efficiently as possible, following immediately on from the rockslope stabilisation works, with safety remaining our top priority. We would like to thank the local community and road users for their patience while we complete these improvements.”
