Badenoch and Strathspey roads maintenance programme approved

Members of the Highland Council’s Badenoch and Strathy Area Committee have approved the Council’s 2018/19 roads maintenance programme for the area.

The programme is based on current priories but could be subject to change

Included in the approved road maintenance schedule are, for example:

• Works to the A939: surface dressing on the Castle Grant East Lodge to snow gates section and the brae above the north snow gates on the Moray bound section; and inlay works on the Bridge of Brown / A95 junction.
• On the B9152: surface dressing works are planned for Grampian Road, Aviemore and overlay works at the Kincraig Brae junction.
• On the B970: surface dressing works are planned for the Loch an Eilein to Boat house road end section.

Other surface dressing works are planned for Grant Road and Chapel Road in Grantown on Spey and East Terrace and Tait’s Brae at Kingussie.

Resurfacing works at Ardvonie car park loop Kingussie; roads to Myrtlefield, car park and bus depot; and Reed Court Bellmouth, Carrbridge are also included in the plans.

Resurfacing of Broomhill Bridge is in the plan - and drainage works at the Carrbridge soakaways and Seafield Court, Grantown-on-Spey are also included.

The Badenoch and Strathspey roads maintenance programme has been approved by local councillors pending confirmation of the Council’s Community Services Committee budget allocations for the area. The indicative programme is based on current engineering and safety priories and may alter if significant events impact priorities and resources.
