Bank Street, Inverness to close to through-traffic

Motorists are being advised by The Highland Council that from Monday 1 September until Friday 28 November 2014, Bank Street, Inverness will be closed to through-traffic from Fraser Street to Friars Street.

Drivers are reminded that access to Fraser Street is for buses, taxis, emergency vehicles, refuse and those requiring access only.

Bank Street was re-opened to traffic for July and August to accommodate the busier summer months during the River Ness Flood Scheme works. In order to further progress the flood alleviation works it is necessary to re-close Bank Street to through-traffic so that drainage, wall and streetscape works can continue.

As always, businesses remain open as usual and pedestrian diversions will be clearly identified. Bank Street will re-open at the end of November 2014 for the run up to Christmas.

Anyone requiring further information can phone the River Ness Helpline on 07557 744442 or e-mail: RiverNessFAS@highland.gov.uk
