A82 Tyndrum : Footway improvements
between Pine Trees Leisure Park and the Green Welly Stop. Mon 13th Sept to Fri 29th Oct 7am-7pm (each day- no works currently planned for the weekends).
The road and footway will remain open. However, as a result of limited road widths through the sections, it will be necessary for a traffic management system incorporating temporary traffic signals with lane closures, and footway diversion, to be implemented to ensure the safety of our road workers, road users, cyclists and pedestrians.
