Scheme summary
The Corran Ferry Infrastructure Improvement Scheme (CFIIS) is a major development project aimed at enhancing the Corran Ferry service across the Corran Narrows on Loch Linnhe, serving both Ardgour and Nether Lochaber.
To support the operation of a new electric ferry in the future, the scheme includes:
- a new slipway and overnight berthing pier at Ardgour
- a new slipway, breakwater, marshalling area, parking, shared-use path, and public facilities north of Corran on the Nether Lochaber side
- the demolition of the existing small pier at Ardgour
- land reclamation, dredging, and temporary construction compounds
These improvements will modernise the service, improve accessibility, and support the transition to low-carbon transport.
Community Liaison Group Meetings
During the construction works Community Liaison Group Meetings will be held on the third Wednesday of each month at 19:00 at the Ardgour Village Hall, where the contractor will provide updates on progress, provide details of the upcoming work, and address any issues or concerns from the Ardgour and Nether Lochaber residents. Highland Council officials will also be in attendance.
