A835 Loch Broom Lael Farm roadworks to begin tomorrow





THE second phase of work starting tomorrow (Tuesday) on a Ross-shire stretch of a trunk road has been delayed due to “supplier issues”.

BEAR Scotland, working on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out “essential road surfacing works” at two locations on the A835 beginning on October 1.

The works will involve resurfacing the road “to address the deteriorating conditions”, as well as improve road markings, “creating a smoother and safer road for road users”.
