Temporary road closure during Feshie Bridge works

21st August 2013

Road users are being advised by The Highland Council that from Monday 2nd September until Saturday 21st September 2013 essential maintenance works will be carried out to Feshie Bridge which will require a temporary road closure on a short length of the B970 Kingussie – Speybridge Road over Feshie Bridge.

The length of road affected will be from the U2094 Achlean Road junction with the B970 road. The closure will extend for 300 metres across Feshie Bridge to the private access road leading to Ord Cottage, Feshie Bridge.

Alternative routes for vehicles will be available using the B970 Kingussie – Speybridge Road (Part), B9152 Kingussie to Granish Road, A86 Kingussie to Kerrow Road and the C1132 Kincraig to Loch Insh Road, although this road has a weight restriction on Kincraig Spey Bridge so it is only suitable for vehicles with a gross weight of less than 17 tonnes.

Diversion routes for vehicles will be signposted and access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained throughout the works.
