Project Details
Description
Resurfacing works are required to maintain the safety and integrity of a stretch of the A95 carriageway, from Lower Lagyie to Tullochgorum Lodge, Highlands. The carriageway is presenting signs of continual deterioration.
Construction activities and the associated plant and machinery required are as follows:
- Implementation of Traffic Management (TM) and marking out site;
- Removal of existing surfacing and milling to agreed depths (planer, wagon, lorries);
- Inlay resurfacing to depths of 40mm and 150mm, with areas of grid reinforcement. AC binder and AC base will be used (paver, roller);
- Additional works including siding out of the verges will be undertaken;
- Reinstatement of road markings, linings, and studs (lorries/wagons and plant); and,
- Removal of TM.
The proposed construction is programmed to be undertaken and completed within this financial year (April 2025 to March 2026), currently programmed for June, for a duration of five nightshifts.
Traffic management (TM) will involve of a full road closure during nighttime hours for the duration of the works. A diversion route using B9153 and A938 will be in place.
The scheme is approximately 0.88km long, and approximately 0.5 hectares (ha) in area.
