Stromeferry Bypass

The Highland Council is nearing the end of Stage 1 of the options appraisal process for Stromeferry Bypass.  A draft report of the findings was presented at a public meeting in Lochcarron Village Hall on Saturday 27 April. The report is available for viewing under current documents.  Comments on the contents of the report are welcome prior to the Council’s TECS Committee on the 16th May. The Committee will be invited to approve the recommended options, which will be taken forward to the next stage.

If you wish to contribute ideas or opinions you can do so through the community councils, local members or directly to The Highland Council on stromeferryoptions@highland.gov.uk

Stage 1 has included input from representatives of the local community and regulatory bodies through a series of stakeholder workshops held in Strathcarron and Inverness.

The options appraisal is being prepared using the Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) and the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). Refer to the External Links section on the right hand panel for the STAG and DMRB website pages.
