BETTER-than-expected progress on work to re-align part of the A83 meant planned road closures were not needed, thus removing the need for a 60-mile detour for drivers.
Three consecutive overnight closures were planned from Tuesday April 3 to allow the removal of higher sections of the slope above Strone Point, but ‘favourable ground conditions’ allowed contractor John Paul Construction to get on better than anticipated.
