There will be a temporary prohibition of traffic on the B869 Lochinver - Drumbeg - Newton road later this month.

The lengths of road affected include the B869 Lochinver – Drumbeg – Newton Road, which will be closed from its junction with A894 Loch Assynt - Laxford Road to its junction with A836 Invershin – Lochinver Road.

Highland Council is closing the road in sections to minimise disruption.

From the B869’s junction with the A894 to its junction with U1135 Poldarroch Road, in Drumbeg, from next Monday, March 14, to Friday, March 25.

From the B869’s junction with U1135 Poldarroch Road, in Drumbeg to its junction with U1091 Stoer Church Road, from Monday, March 21, to Friday, April 1.

From the B869’s junction with U1091 Stoer Church Road to its junction with the A836, from Monday, March 28, to Friday, April 8.

To avoid the road closure, an alternative route will be available via the A894 Loch Assynt - Laxford Road and the A836 Invershin – Lochinver Road.
