Landslips close roads

Contractors and council engineering staff continue to work on two roads which were closed after the recent spell of bad weather.

The B8043 Kingairloch road, adjacent to the Kingairloch estate road and at B849 Drimnin road, near Killundine were closed due to landslips.

Work was still being carried out this week to allow the Drimnin road to open to LGVs. However, the road can take light vehicles although there might be some delays in getting through the site.

It was hoped that the road will be fully open this week as there is no alternative route. There will be a delay in reinstating the bitmac surface but the road will be fully driveable.

There is a local diversion in place for the Kingairloch road. Engineers were due to undertake a hill inspection this week. Once this inspection is completed there will be a clearer view on when the road can reopen.

Council staff are continuing to liaise with the local communities.
