SSEN Transmission have invited anyone interested to attend what it describes as information drop in sessions today to receive a further update on the culvert replacement works which will lead to a full nighttime closure of the A832 road between 9pm and 7am from 24th August for several weeks.
SSEN say the project team will be in attendance to answer questions and to discuss the traffic management and emergency access processes with community members. It claims that in order to support the growth in renewable energy developments across the north of Scotland and Islands, investment in network infrastructure is needed to connect the power and to transport it to areas of demand.
Sessions are scheduled to take place today from 4 till 6pm at Aultbea Hall and from 7 till 9pm at Badcaul Church.
