Temporary road closure for Sutherland bridge strengthening works

25th September 2020

As part of the Scottish Timber Transport Project structural road improvements are currently underway in Sutherland along the A839 between Rosehall and Lairg.

To allow for a safe working environment to carry out additional strengthening works to the Altass Bridge (also known as Minister's Bridge), the single-track section of the A839 that crosses the bridge will be temporarily closed to traffic for 3 days next week.

The temporary closure starts first thing on Monday (28th September) 2020. Local diversions will be sign posted on the ground and local access will be maintained.
