UPDATED - Closure of A86 Laggan to Newtonmore 19/08–11/09
Posted on
BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are undertaking carriageway resurfacing works on the A86 Trunk Road between Newtonmore and Laggan.
The works were originally programmed for construction from Monday 19th August to Saturday 7th September, but due to poor weather the works will now finish on 11 September with the road reopening at 07;00.
Due to the width of the road and the nature and scale of the works, the A86 is closed at Biallidbeg Farm to the east of the scheme, and at Craig Dhu House to the west of the scheme, to allow access for residents to their properties. Signs have been placed to guide traffic along the signed diversion routes. Regrettably, no traffic, including emergency services, nearby residents or public transport is permitted through the site due to deep excavations making it unsuitable.
Eastbound traffic is diverted to the A889, then onto the A9 where they can rejoin the A86 at Kingussie to reach their destination. Westbound traffic is diverted to the A9, then onto the A889 from where they can join the A86 near Laggan. Glentruim road is closed except for local access.
BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland thank the local community in advance for their patience during these essential works.
