Project Details
Description
BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out resurfacing works and structural maintenance on a section of the A828 trunk road. The works will take place over a length of 1,380m and an area of 0.8418ha. Carriageway resurfacing and structural maintenance will involve the milling out and replacement of bituminous material. Following the resurfacing works, road markings will be reinstated. Works have been identified from surface and structural deterioration and works are proposed to address these issues. The 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
- Install road markings
- Remove TM and open road
The works are currently programmed for delivery within the 2026/2027 financial year, with a proposed start date of mid-October 2026. The resurfacing works will be undertaken over a total of 10 nights (19:00-06:00). Changes in the programmes may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement dates.
Traffic management (TM) will involve road closure during working hours (19:00 – 06:00) with amnesties at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00, 00:00, 02:00 and 04:00. Local access will be accommodated within TM as much as is reasonably practicable.
