Work was due to start this week on the new £90,000 puffin crossing being installed on the A830 in Corpach, writes Mark Entwistle.
The new puffin crossing – which is controlled by sensors mounted on the lights that can detect whether any pedestrians are on the crossing and changes the colour of the lights accordingly – will replace the existing uncontrolled crossing point near the Co-op store, allowing pedestrians safely to cross the A830 and help improve road safety on the route.
As well as the installation of the new Traffic signals, work will include drainage improvements, carriageway resurfacing, footway reconstruction, new road markings and signage improvements.
