Road enhancements for the A83 Arrochar 

The project to improve the road surface was due to start at 5pm on Sunday 28 January and be completed by 2am on Tuesday January 30 but due to the weekend’s inclement forecast has been pushed back to 5pm on Thursday February 1 until  2am on Saturday 3 February 3.

A 10mph convoy system will be in place between between 5pm and 2am on Thursday February 1 and Friday February 2. Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours, with a 30mph speed limit in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface. 

Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative said: “These resurfacing projects on the A83 will help address defects and greatly improve the road surface. The traffic management arrangements are essential for ensuring the safety of road workers and motorists. We’ve taken steps to limit the overall impact of the project by carrying out the work overnight. 

“Our teams will do all they can to complete the works as quickly and safely as they can. We thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete this essential road improvement project. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
