Work is to start early next month on improvements at a trunk roads junction and stretch of the A86 by Laggan.
Road bosses have warned that the £510,000 project will lead to overnight road closures between September 4 to 15 from 7pm to 7am
Bear Scotland will be carrying out surfacing improvements on the A86 south of Laggan at the A889 junction to Strathmashie – around one kilometre of carriageway.
Eddie Ross, Bear Scotland’s North West Representative, said: “These essential resurfacing works on the A86 at the A889 junction to Strathmashie will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety for road users.
“Due to the narrow widths of the carriageway on this section of the A86, the traffic management proposed is essential in keeping our roadworkers as well as motorists safe.
"We will not be undertaking any works on the Friday or Saturday night to minimise the disruption experienced at the weekend.
“We thank the local community and road users for their patience in advance while we complete this project. We encourage motorists to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
Amnesty periods – where works are temporarily suspended – will be provided at 8pm, 9pm, 11pm, 1am and 4am to allow motorists to be escorted through the site.
Traffic management will be removed outwith working hours, however, a 30mph speed limit will remain in place as traffic will be travelling over a temporary surface.
Emergency service vehicles will be allowed to pass through the site throughout the working period.
