Hallo allemaal,
Ik heb nog even verder gezocht en het volgende op de site van
http://www.road-to-the-isles.org.uk/westword/ gevonden. Kennelijk zijn ze al aardig opgeschoten, maar zijn de werkzaamheden zeker nog niet afgesloten. Ik vind het wel een beetje vreemd dat deze niet op de site van roadworksscotland staan aangegeven. Maar goed, je hoeft niet alles te snappen in het leven niet waar? Overigens is het zeker geen straf om langzaam te moeten rijden over deze weg, de omgeving is zeker de moeite waard!
Zeker als je mede-weggebruikers voldoende afstand houden...........
Hierbij zoals beloofd het berichtje:
[i]A830 Arisaig to Loch nan Uamh, Progress Update [/b]
We now have only a third of our Contract remaining. Over the last couple of months we have carried out surfacing works on the existing road between Borrodale and Loch nan Uamh. These works will continue for a few weeks to come, but should disrupt traffic less, now that we have full width carriageway for most of the section. There will be a further diversion of traffic at the Loch nan Uamh corner shortly, when we put traffic onto the new road and complete the works on the East side.
Over the next few weeks we hope to cast the 1st half of the deck on the new Larachmore Bridge. This will allow us to put traffic across it and then demolish the old bridge prior to building the 2nd half of the Bridge. The surfacing works between Arisaig and the Larachmore should be advanced enough by that stage to allow traffic onto the new road from Arisaig to the South side of the bridge. This is planned for the end of August.
All blasting operations are now complete, so there will be no road closures during July and August and only a very limited number of closures between September and January.
We are still on schedule for completion in January 2009. But there will be a few more months of delays for road users to put up with. The continued patience of road users is appreciated.

Groetjes en veel rijplezier!
