Overnight closures for road improvements

There will be overnight road closures on the A83 immediately south of West Tarbert for two days next week.

The road will close overnight between 7pm and 5am on Wednesday December 6 and Thursday December 7, as BEAR Scotland undertakes improvements on behalf of Transport Scotland.

Works are scheduled to be completed by 5am on the morning of December 8.

As there is no suitable diversion route available, there will be amnesties at 9pm, 11pm and 2am. Motorists are encouraged to arrive prior to these times to ensure they are accommodated within the amnesty period.

Outwith working hours, the road will be open with a 30mph speed limit in place, as drivers will be travelling over a temporary surface. Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times.

“These enhancements to the A83 will replace the worn-out road surface and improve road-users’ experience,” said Ian Stewart, BEAR Scotland’s north west representative.

“Our team will work hard to finish the job safely and quickly, and we thank the local community and road users for their patience.

“Before you start your journey, please check the Traffic Scotland website for the latest updates as the works can be impacted by weather.”
