Plan is ill-conceived
THERE is highly justifiable anger over the proposal to close the A828 over three weeks during the daytime to carry out roadworks.
BEAR Scotland, the national ‘service provider in the Scottish roads maintenance sector’ - so its website says - announced the planned closures of this vital artery earlier this month.
The plans are for work to be done in two phases, the first between Ballachulish and Creagan from Monday September 11 to Monday September 18, with the road shut for three days on the 11th, 12th and 13th from 8am to 7pm. The second phase will see work done between Creagan and Ledaig, from Tuesday September 19 to Thursday September 28, with the road closed from the 19th to the 27th from 8.30am to 7pm (weekdays only).
