Work will begin on more than £8m worth of roads improvements across Argyll and Bute in the coming weeks.
A capital roads reconstruction budget of £8,382,000 was agreed earlier this year, in addition to the day-to-day maintenance work like patching and filling potholes.
The work is now due to get underway and the council says residents can expect to see reconstruction of certain streets getting started over the summer.
Work scheduled in the Helensburgh and lochside areas includes a £280,000 improvement of the A817 Haul Road, £129,500 of improvements on the B872 in Garelochhead and £140,000 being spent on West Montrose Street in Helensburgh.
A council statement today also listed Church Road in Luss, the C73 Barbour Road in Cove and Kilcreggan and Tom a Mhoid in Rosneath, but work on some of the roads named has already been carried out.
Additionally, £84,250 worth of footpath improvements will be carried out in Helensburgh and Lomond.
Ellen Morton, depute policy lead for roads and amenity services, said: “This £8.3m represents a significant investment in our roads network, on top of the millions we spend annually on the day-to-day maintenance of the roads.
“I’m confident that motorists will be pleased with the result of this investment and that any inconvenience caused during the process of the works will be outweighed by the benefits they bring.”
