Date confirmed for path improvement works at Culloden Moor

The public are being advised by The Highland Council of path improvement works alongside the C1028 and B9006 at Culloden Moor between Treetops Stables and Brookfield.

This will provide a surfaced path network from Balloch and Viewhill to Brookfield and Sunnyside providing an improved connected provision for walking, wheeling and cycling.

Path preparation works will commence Monday 21 October and are expected to take six days until Saturday 26 October.  Following this, on Monday 28 October surfacing works to lay the new bituminous surface course is anticipated to take 4 days, with the work completed on Thursday 31 October.

In the interests of safety, the path and woodland car park will be closed to public access on these dates when works are being carried out. This is necessary due to the use of plant and machinery on and along the path lengths.

A temporary 30 mph speed limit will be in place on the C1028 and B9006 over the lengths of the works.  Temporary traffic lights will be in operation on the roadside section at Brookfield between Monday 21 to Tuesday 22 October for preparation works and from Wednesday 30 to Thursday 31 October for surfacing works.

Advance signs will be erected on the path and car park giving prior notice to the public about the forthcoming works.

Path lengths will be opened up to public use when it is safe to do so.

The Highland Council apologises for any inconvenience.
