Inverness' Bank Street to close
Inverness’ Bank Street is set to close to through-traffic next week.
Motorists are being advised by The Highland Council that from Monday (September 1) until Friday November 28 the road 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,” said a statement today (Tuesday).
Bank Street was re-opened to traffic for July and August to accommodate the busier summer months during the River Ness Flood Scheme works.
But to expedite the flood alleviation works the authority maintains 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 are to be clearly identified.
Bank Street will re-open at the end of November 2014 for the run up to Christmas.
