Roads set for raft of temporary closures

Motorists are being warned of road closures in Inverness and Cannich.

From 10pm on Monday July 5 until 6am the following day, Harbour Road in Inverness will be closed at its junction with Millburn Road at the Millburn Roundabout for about 1,000ft north and west, for railway bridge inspection works.

From 9am-5pm on Wednesday July 7, Brown Street in Inverness will be closed from the Anderson Street junction southwest about 500ft.

While MacColl Road and Comar Gardens in Cannich will be shut between 8am and 6pm on Monday July 5.

Meanwhile, Highland Council’s roads and parking teams have taken delivery of a new road sweeper.

Allan Henderson, chairman of the communities and place committee, said the Volvo Scarab road sweeper was used for the first time at a car park in Golspie to prepare the surface for white line painting.
