A82 Tarbet and Crainlarich | Overnight Road Lining Improvements

Essential road lining improvements on the A82 between Tarbet and Crianlarich are set to get underway from Monday 24 February. Work will be carried out between 8pm and 5am, with the project expected to be completed by the morning of Saturday 8 March. No works will be carried out on Saturday and Sunday nights.

To protect the workforce and road users, the A82 will be closed between Tarbet and Crianlarich each work night. During periods of closure, amnesties at 8:30pm, 9:30pm, 10:30pm, 11:30pm, 12:30am, 2:30am and 4:30am will allow waiting vehicles to be escorted through the site.

A signed diversion route will also be in place via the A82, A85, A819 and A83, adding an additional 38 miles and approximately 53 minutes to the journey time for road users travelling between Tarbet and Crianlarich.

The road will be open out with working hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

Access through the works site for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These lining works on the A82 will greatly improve safety on this stretch of the A82.

“We’ve taken steps to limit the overall impact of the project by carrying out the work overnight and avoiding working on Saturday and Sunday nights.

“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete these projects. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
