FOUR separate road closures are set to affect motorists in parts of Ross-shire in the coming weeks.
The temporary closures will affect four different locations in the Dingwall and Alness areas from June 15 to 26, and on July 1, 2 and 3.
The first temporary road closure will affect a 2.5km section of the C1023 Dingwall–Lemlair–Evanton road from its junction with Urquhart Road and its junction with the U2007 Woodlands–Pelaig road. It will run from 8am on Monday until 5pm on June 26 and is being put in place while tree felling work is carried out.
Access for pedestrians, residents and emergency vehicles will be maintained. Alternative routes will be available via the B817–A9–A862 and Tulloch Avenue.
On Wednesday, July 1, a 4.5km section of the A862 will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians from Craigend Court, Dingwall, towards the Ardullie roundabout. The closure, which will run from 8am to 4pm, is to allow an inspection of the Mineral Bridge to be carried out safely. A diversion will be in place via the A9–A835–A862.
On July 2, a 500 metre section of the B817 Evanton–Alness–Invergordon–Kildary road will be closed from 8am to 4pm while Network Rail engineers inspect a bridge. The affected section will run from its junction with the A9. A diversion will be in place.
And, on July 3, a 50 metre section of the U1474 Achnagarron–Rosskeen–Alness road will also be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians from 8am to 4pm to allow for another rail bridge to be inspected. Again, a diversion will be in place.
