Academy Street road marking and bollard removal works

The Highland Council have appointed a contractor (Markon) to carry out road marking works as part of a project to revert Academy Street in Inverness to pre-Covid traffic management.

Work is due to start on Monday 4 November 2024 and will take between 4 and 5 days to complete. If the weather forecast is poor, the work may have to be delayed until the weather improves.

The process of renewing Academy Street to pre covid Traffic Management will see the bollards removed just before the road marking works start.

All of the bollards will be removed with the exception of those erected outside the Taxi Rank in the middle of the road on the approach to the Union Street Junction. These bollards are remaining as permanent traffic management measures to prevent U turn manoeuvres.

The work is being planned to keep disruption at a minimum, however drivers using Academy Street should allow extra time for their journeys. Most of the work is being carried out during the daytime and some work carried out in the evening/overnight. Public Transport provision will be largely unaffected by the works.
