MORE ROAD CLOSURES FOR A83

[Kintyre Forum News]

Scotland TranServ has announced further road closures on two sections of the A83.

Resurfacing work between Arrochar and Tarbet and Lochgilphead and Tarbert will get underway next month and involve a combination of overnight closures and daytime convoy working.

The Arrochar to Tarbet work will be:

Monday 9 to Thursday 12 August – overnight closures (9pm to 6am)

Sunday 15 to Monday 16 August – overnight closure (9pm to 6am)

Monday 6 to Friday 10 September – daytime working with single lane closure and convoy working


The Lochgilphead to Tarbert work at Meall Dubh will involve:

Tuesday 17 August to Wednesday 1 September – overnight closures (9pm to 6am)

The scheme will start 1.5 miles south of Inverneill, and stretch for 0.8 miles to the south. The diversion route is the B8024 Kilberry road. HGVs will be escorted through the works when it is safe to do so, due to the lack of a suitable diversion route.

Traffic restrictions will be lifted outwith working hours and during weekends. Access for the emergency services will be available at all times.
