Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will undertake resurfacing works along one section of the A82 trunk road, covering a length of 575m. The works will include:

  • Milling out and inlaying bituminous material to mixed depths
  • Routine road drainage maintenance
  • Reinstatement of road markings upon completion of resurfacing

Key plant and equipment to be used on site include pavers, planers, excavators, and rollers. A welfare unit with a generator will be established on site, and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be required for the transport of materials and waste.

The resurfacing and drainage maintenance procedure is as follows:

  • Set up traffic management (TM) and mark out site
  • Mill out old surface course
  • Reset and/or replace roadside gullies where required
  • Lay new surface course
  • Roll surface and allow it to set
  • Install road markings and studs
  • Carry out drainage maintenance
  • Remove TM and open road

The works at A82 North of Stuckendroin are scheduled for delivery within the 2025/2026 Financial Year. This scheme is currently set to commence on 17th September until 24th September 2025. Works will be undertaken during night-time hours (19:00-06:00). However, changes to the programme may result in revised start dates or working hours.

Traffic Management (TM) will involve night-time road closures with regular amnesties to allow traffic to pass through. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout. Site access and plant storage will be accommodated within the TM extents. Should the programme be revised, the TM arrangements may also be subject to change.
