Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to undertake resurfacing works on two sections of the A84 trunk road with a combined length of 1,467m (A84 Callander South End: 470m; A84 South of Keltie Bridge: 997m). 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 and reset gullies.
  • Install road markings and studs.
  • Remove TM and open road.

The works comprise two schemes – A84 Callander South End and A84 South of Keltie Bridge – separated by a distance of 570m on the A84. Both schemes are currently programmed for delivery within the 2026/2027 financial year. The works at A84 Callander South End are scheduled to commence on 05/07/2026 and are expected to last for six nights utilising a night-time working pattern (19:00 to 06:00). Works at A84 South of Keltie Bridge will begin later on 22/07/2026 for a duration of eight nights utilising the same working pattern. Changes in the programme may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement dates.

Traffic Management (TM) will include single lane closures with temporary traffic lights and a convoy system. The TM strategy will be in line with recommendations and guidance in The Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8. Access to any junctions and private roads will be maintained where practicable. Site access and plant storage will be located within TM. If the programme changes, this may result in amendment to the exact TM requirements.
