Project Details

Description

BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out surface replacement and structural maintenance on the A86 trunk road located east of Roybridge (Grid reference map). The works will involve the milling out and replacement of up to 300mm of bituminous material. Following resurfacing, road markings will be reinstated to their existing layout. The scheme extends for approximately 1,167m, covering a total area of 0.723ha.

The works are currently programmed to be completed within the 2025/2026 financial year over 10 nights by utilising nighttime working hours (19:00-07:00). If the programme changes, there might be requirement for daytime working.

It is expected that traffic management (TM) will consist of lane closures with two-way temporary traffic lights, however the exact TM setup is still to be confirmed. The scheme is located on a trunk road stretch with no pedestrian facilities present, however non-motorised users (NMUs) will continue to be accommodated within the TM. Pedestrian passage will be granted either via a diversion route or suitable provisions within TM.

This scheme is located on the A86 trunk road, approximately 0.85km east of Roybridge within the Highland Council area (National Grid Reference: NN 29000 80632 - NN 27868 80918).
