BEAR Scotland have changed their plans for the proposed Road Closure at Pennyfuir.

“From Sunday 25th October to Sunday 1st November the works will be carried out under a road closure as planned. This is unavoidable due to the available road widths from the 30mph signs at the north entrance to Oban to the cemetery.

However, we have postponed the implementation of the closure until 2150hrs, (previously it was 7.00 pm) to minimise disruption to bus services and other traffic leaving and entering Oban. There will be amnesties to allow the remaining bus services and any other stacked traffic through the site. The road will then be closed again after the last bus and will re-open hourly, on the hour, to release traffic. The road should then be open again by 0600hrs each morning.

In the second week (ie from 1 Nov until 6 Nov) the remainder of the works will be carried out under a 10mph convoy. This will start at 1900hrs and again should be finished by 0600hrs the next morning.”
