£90k investment in A82 improvements

Local residents and motorists across West Dunbartonshire are set to benefit from a programme of essential maintenance to the A82 at Greenhead Road beginning 2 March 2016.

Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland will carry out resurfacing works and replace the road markings over two nights when traffic flows are expected to be lighter.

To ensure the safety of motorists and operatives alike a contraflow system will be in place during the works from Wednesday 2 March until Friday 4 March 2016. Traffic lights will be in operation with motorists escorted by a convoy vehicle.

A total closure will be in place at Strowans Well Road, Barnhill Road, Greenhead Road, Strowans Road and Dunbrittan Road. Manual traffic lights will allow vehicles to leave and enter Barnhill Road. Diversion signage will be in place across these locations.

Andy Fraser, operating company representative for Scotland TranServ said:

“This essential maintenance scheme will be carried out to benefit local residents and almost 45,000 motorists travelling on this busy stretch of trunk road each day.

“We understand the importance of the A82 and its vital links to Glasgow and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs therefore we have programmed the works overnight when traffic flows are lighter to help minimise disruption.”
