Members agree 2020/21 Roads Maintenance Programme for Lochaber

Members at the Lochaber Area Committe yesterday approved the 2020/21 Roads Maintenance Programme for the area.

The programme is based on the current priorities but may of course be subject to change.

The Environment, Development and Infrastructure (EDI) Committee local allocations budget has not yet been determined so the roads maintenance programme is based on the 2019/20 budget. Should the budget change then the programme will either be curtailed or increased as appropriate.

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

• Re-surfacing works on the A884 road at Liddesdale
• Surface dressing on the A884 (Sunart side) road
• Overlay works are planned for the A861 (Mingarry) road
• Surface dressing on the B8043 Kingairloch road at Kilmalou

Drainage works are scheduled for the Kinlochourn road, and the B8043 (Inversanda) road is also in line for surface dressing.

The Lochaber roads maintenance programme has been approved by local councillors pending confirmation of the Council’s Community and Place 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.
