Contractor appointed for Evanton to Swordale road improvement works
Reading time: 1 minute
The Highland Council and its local partners have been successful in securing grant funding under the Scottish Government’s Strategic Timber Transport Scheme for repair works to be carried out along the U1992 Evanton to Swordale road.
The structural repairs will allow the current weight restriction to be lifted and allow timber extraction to resume.
The successful contractor is D&I Bain Ltd (Tore) which will be on site the week beginning Monday 4 July, for up to six weeks.
The works involve drainage improvements, major patching works and overlay, with the council’s own workforce carrying out a significant length of surface dressing in late July.
Much of the works will be on the single track sections of the route so delays and inconvenience will be inevitable, but the contractor will endeavour to keep any delays to a minimum.
