Campbeltown Road Closures

SCOTTISH WATER ISSUES DETAILS OF CAMPBELTOWN ROAD CLOSURES

Scottish Water has issued details of the road traffic management which will be implemented in Campbeltown while work on a new sewer is carried out from August to October.

Residents in the Meadows area of the town have been informed by contractors Morrison Construction, working for Scottish Water, that they will be carrying out work there between August 3 and October 29 as part of the Campbeltown flood alleviation scheme.

To enable the contractors to carry out the work safely and efficiently, there will need to be road closures for vehicular access on some streets.

Residents have been advised that although the closure dates might overlap, only one closure will be in force at any time to minimise disruption.

The road closures are:

Meadows Avenue from Tomaig Road to Range Road between August 3 and September 3;

Tomaig Road from Ralston Road to Meadows Avenue and to 77 Crosshill Avenue from August 21 to September 30;

Crosshill Avenue from numbers 23 to 61 between September 17 and October 20;

Ralston Road from numbers 163 to 173 between October 7 and 29.

While the closures are in place the contractors will endeavour to provide access to non-work areas during the working day and through the night.

However, residents are being asked to ensure that no vehicles are parked within the closure areas between 7.30am and 7.30pm unless previously agreed with a member of the site management.

When work on Meadows Avenue and Tomaig Road is ongoing, a local bus service will operate an alternative route along Crosshill Avenue.

Residents are asked to ensure that their vehicles are parked in a way which will allow the bus to have a clear route along this section of road.

Mrs Jane McKenzie, Scottish Water’s regional community manager, said: “These road closures are necessary to allow the contractors to carry out this important work laying the sewer.

“We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of local residents while this part of the Campbeltown project progresses.”

If residents have any questions or wish to discuss special access requirements they are asked to contact Greg Adamson or Steve Whymant of Morrison Construction at the site office or on 01586 551503.
