Fort William 2040 (FW2040) projects - Road Improvements: STAG/ STPR2

In development - Transport Scotland are working on the mobilisation of resources to shape and deliver their strategic transport priorities as recommended in STPR2. Specifically, work is ongoing on a delivery plan to progress the recommendations in the report, and an associated prioritisation process to programme all the work across the country is underway - there is no confirmed date for this at present.

The key recommendation for Fort William (no.32 in STPR2) was the development of an integrated Transport Plan (ITP) to address the ongoing range of issues and concerns with traffic and transport in, and through the town. Discussions are ongoing between Transport Scotland and local agencies (HC, HIE and HITRANS) to confirm an agreed approach to the ITP, both in terms of scope and governance. Local agencies have undertaken a review of the historic transport assessment work completed for the A82 to help identify the gaps/appropriate focus for the ITP. It is hoped that this work will be commissioned sometime in 2024.
