BT Openreach works Church Street, Inverness

The Highland Council is advising motorists, residents and businesses using Inverness Church Street that BT Openreach have instructed their contractor to carry out work on Church Street, Inverness (next to the former Asher’s Bakery premises), as a matter of urgency. The works location has been affected by subsidence and, as a result, the excavation works could result in complications arising.

Work is programmed to be carried out overnight and will commence at 8pm on Monday 29 November with an anticipated completion time of 6am the next morning – pending excavations.

Noisy elements of the work will be carried out before 10:30pm with hand digging overnight.

If the works are not completed (due to potential unforeseen causes of the subsidence) this may result in the road remaining closed for 2 to 3 days which could have implications for buses and delivery vehicles.

The Council is liaising with BT Openreach on their works, Stagecoach, Inverness BID and local businesses.

Should members of the public have queries about the works please contact BT Openreach at: https://www.openreach.com/help-and-support/when-to-get-in-touch-with-openreach and for Stagecoach information at: https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates
