SIX MONTHS of work is set to start to improve the notorious Strone Point bend on the A83 near Inveraray.
BEAR Scotland, under contract from Transport Scotland, said that the £1.55 million scheme on the trunk road ‘will improve the radius of the bend and widen the carriageway for the benefit of all road-users’.
The area has a history of serious road traffic accidents, many of which have been fatal, over many years. Of particular recent concern has been the number of incidents involving motorcycles.
