The A82 Partnership says it is trying to ensure traffic lights used during planned bridge replacement work near Glencoe Village starting in the spring will be manually operated.
The A82 Partnership’s Stewart MacLean said the move will help reduce long tail backs of traffic during the seven months’ construction process throughout the busy main summer tourism season.
BEAR Scotland has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to replace the existing Allt Fhiodhan Bridge which carries the A82 trunk road over the Allt Fhiodhan watercourse. The bridge is located approximately one mile south of Glencoe Village, is around 89 years old and does not meet the requirements of current design and assessment standards.
