Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to undertake resurfacing works on a 820m section of the A84 trunk road. Carriageway resurfacing will involve the milling out and replacing of bituminous material. 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.
  • Install road markings and studs.
  • Remove TM and open road.

The scheme is currently programmed for delivery within the 2026-2027 financial year, with an approximate start date of 12/08/2026, over a duration of seven nights and night-time working pattern (19:00 – 06:00). Changes in the programme may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement dates.

TM will consist of full A84 road closure with hourly amnesties during the night-time working hours (19:00 – 06:00). The TM strategy will be in line with recommendations and guidance in The Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 (Traffic signs manual chapter 8). Access to junction and private roads will be maintained. Site access and plant storage will be located within TM. If the programme changes, this may result in amendment to the exact TM requirements.
