Temporary diversion along section of A82 through Inverness next week

As part of ongoing works for the second stage of The Highland Council’s Inverness West Link project, motorists are being advised that the A82 will be closed on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th October from 09:30hrs to 16:00hrs between the new Torvean roundabout and Tomnahurich Swing Bridge. 

The temporary road closure is required so the final road surfacing can to be completed safely. Next week sections of the new swing bridge are also due to be delivered and installed. 

During the temporary road closure access will be maintained for emergency vehicles, public transport and for any residents or business premises within the closed section.  For all other road users, a signed diversion will be in place via Kinmylies. 

On the lead up to the closures there will be preparatory works in the area so there will be 4-way traffic control on the new roundabout from tomorrow (Wednesday 21st October) to Friday 23rd October and again on Monday 26th October and Tuesday 27th October so motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
