A85 PLANNED MAINTENANCE
BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, are proposing to carry out carriageway resurfacing works on the A85 trunk road at three locations.
The works are programmed for construction between Sunday 12th July and Thursday 23rd July 2020, between the hours of 7pm and 5am. No works are planned for Friday or Saturday nights.
Location of Works Duration Work Hours Traffic Management
A85 East of Benmore
Wed 22nd July & Thurs 23rd July (2 nights) 7pm – 5am | Road closure with amnesty
Unfortunately, due to restricted road widths at each location, the A85 will be closed in both directions whilst works are being carried out. This is necessary to ensure the safety of the workforce and members of public. Access for emergency services and public bus services will be maintained at all times. As there is no suitable diversion route available for A85 Glen Ogle and A85 East of Benmore, amnesty periods will be provided at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 12am, 2am and 4am. We understand that a road closure of this nature can be disruptive and have planned the works overnight when traffic flows are lower.
