Stromeferry transport survey

Businesses and organisations affected by the A 890 Stromeferry Bypass are being invited to take part in a transport survey which will help shape options for improving the link between Lochcarron and Kyle.

The 12km long section of public road alongside the southern shore of Loch Carron has been periodically subject to landslides and rock fall events, causing The Highland Council to temporarily close the road on several occasions in order to enable remedial works to the rock slopes to take place.

Temporary closure of the road forces both road and rail users to undertake a major temporary road diversion resulting in significant additional transport costs to businesses and organisations, both in the locality and further afield.

In order to assess the potential issues more clearly, The Highland Council has appointed URS to carry out a transport assessment addressing the problem of rock fall on the A890 Stromeferry Bypass and how this affects both businesses and other organisations.

The Council and URS are inviting businesses and organisations to contribute to this strategically critical transport study.

Questionnaires will shortly be sent to a targeted audience. For more information please contact: Jonathan Campbell by phone on 0141 354 5754, or by email at jonathan.campbell@urs.com.
