Ross and Cromarty roads update (2)

As at 14:30  Friday 2 March 2018

A835 Ullapool- Ledmore,  the road closure has been pushed back to the top of Strathcanaird Hill at the Langwell Turnoff. This will allow access to Rhue, Blughasary, Strathcanaird and Langwell only for the time being. The operatives are working towards opening the road as far back as Drumrunie Junction and are hopeful to have the closure pushed back to this point by this evening weather permiting.

A832 Gairloch- Braemore Junction is passable and will receive a treatment this evening.

Lochcarron/Applecross/Diabeg-Salt levels high and all roads reported to be dry- no issues.

All East Ross route still being affected by drifting snow, and work is ongoing to keep the priority routes open and work towards opening some of the others routes. Increased resource for evening treatments has been arranged.
