Works to secure improvements to Fairy Pools route on Isle of Skye begin 12 December.

Works will start on the C1237 Merkadale – Glen Brittle Road (Fairy Pools) from Thursday 12 December and are expected to complete on Friday 13 December at 18:00 but potentially will run to Monday 16 December at 18:00 – weather dependant.

The road will be restricted to essential local access only - during amnesty periods – and be closed to all other traffic to allow the works to progress safely.

During the restrictions The Highland Council will undertake surfacing of the recent improvement works to provide a stable road surface.

The works will take place from 08.30 until 18.00 so evenings will be unaffected.

The local roads team asks non-essential visitors to avoid the area while repair works are being carried out on the road. The cooperation and patience of those affected by the works is appreciated as the Council works to improve the road condition so that all may benefit.
