Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out resurfacing works along three separate but consecutive sections of the A84 trunk road, to lengths of 609m, 925m and 680m. The works involve milling out and replacing bituminous material to a mixed depth inlay and drainage works consisting of filter drain refurbishment, cut grip and drainage ditch maintenance. Following the resurfacing works, road markings will be reinstated.

Main plant will include pavers, planers, excavators, and rollers. A welfare unit with generator will be required on site, and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be required for transport of materials and wastes.

The resurfacing 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
  • Drainage works
  • Remove TM and open road

The works consist of three schemes; A84 South End of Loch Lubnaig, A84 South End of Loch Lubnaig Phase 2 and A84 Loch Lubnaig Ardchullarie More. All three are programmed to be completed within the 2025/2026 financial year, with the first currently programmed to commence on 22nd June 2025 for a duration of twelve nights. Works will be conducted during nighttime working hours (19:00-06:00). Changes in the programme may result in a change to the proposed working hours/commencement dates.

Traffic management (TM) will involve nighttime lane closures with two-way temporary traffic lights and convoy working. Access to junctions and private roads will be maintained. Site access and plant storage will be located within TM. If the programme changes, this may result in amendments to the exact TM requirements.
