Project Details
Description
BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to undertake resurfacing works and drainage grip cutting on a 767m length of the A82 trunk road, covering a total area of 0.05ha. Carriageway resurfacing will involve the milling out and replacement of bituminous material to mixed depths. Following the resurfacing works, road markings and studs will be reinstated.
Main plant will include pavers, planers, excavators, and rollers. Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be required for transport of materials and wastes.
The package of works will include:
- Set up traffic management (TM) and mark out site.
- Mill out old surface course.
- Lay new surface course.
- Roll surface and allow it to go off.
- Renew filter drains, cut grips, and reset gullies.
- Install road markings and studs.
- Remove TM and open road.
The works are currently programmed to begin in June 2026 for a duration of three nights following a nighttime working pattern (19:00 – 06:00). Changes in the programme may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement date.
TM will include full road closures with regular amnesties. The TM strategy will be in line with recommendations and guidance in The Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8. Site access and plant storage will be located within TM. If the programme changes, this may result in amendment to the exact TM requirements.
