Scotland TranServ has announced the overnight closure of the A82 at Crianlarich from Monday March 22 for road improvement works.

The project, which is expected to last two nights (weather permitting), is designed to enhance safety at the double bend under the railway bridge in Crianlarich.

The works are to be carried out by Scotland TranServ on behalf of Transport Scotland, and include High Friction Surfacing to improve skid resistance. They will be carried out overnight by a number of road squads between 2200hrs and 0600hrs.

To facilitate the works it is necessary to close the A82 between the A82/A85 Junction at Crianlarich and the A82/85 Junction at Tyndrum. Local access for residents will be maintained and a signed diversion route will be in place.

Through traffic will not be permitted apart from the Emergency Services. Information Boards have been erected on all major connecting routes to warn of the closure.

Motorists have been urged to consult the Traffic Scotland website for up to date information and plan their journeys to avoid the closures, or allow extra time for their journeys.
