Convoy system for roadworks on A82 beside Loch Lomond

A 10mph convoy system will be in place on a stretch of the A82 beside Loch Lomond next week.

Transport Scotland says it is spending £350,000 on improving the road surface one kilometre of the trunk road north of Culag

The project will get underway on Monday March 16 and last for two weeks, with work between 7pm and 7am each night.

No works are programmed for Friday or Saturday nights.

The A82 will remain open throughout but a 10mph convoy system will be in place during the project to keep everyone safe.

Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours, although a speed restriction of 30mph will remain in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s north west representative said: “This essential surfacing project will upgrade the existing road surface on this section of the A82, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users.

“We’ve taken steps to minimise any disruption to road users by carrying out the surfacing improvements overnight and have arranged for all loud operations to be completed before 11pm to further minimise any disruption to residents.

“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
