Tuesday 2nd March 2021 - 2pm

In accordance with Marine Scotland’s licensing procedure, as set out in Part 4 of the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010, a pre-consultation meeting is required for the above project. Local residents, business owners and other stakeholders are invited to attend.

The Kiachnish Bridge lies approximately 6.5km south of Fort William and carries the A82 trunk road over the River Kiachnish. The project will comprise of the installation of rip-rap rock armour, across the full width of the channel bed to create an area of stone pitching. This is required to protect the bridge piers from further scouring. Works are proposed to start in July/August 2021, (this will be dependent on receiving the appropriate consents in time). Works are expected to take between 3 to 4 months. No road closures are required to facilitate the works, although traffic management over the bridge may be required, when setting up or removing the site compound, and moving plant or material between lifting locations. Working hours will generally be between 8am and 6pm.

The meeting will be held over an online portal, please contact NWBridgesConsultation@bearscotland.co.uk, to confirm attendance and for joining instructions.
