Repairs to the A835 at ‘Check Rail Corner’ between Garve and Tarvie have been pushed back until 3rd November this year.
A statement from Transport Scotland states that BEAR have experienced a number of difficulties, including the complexity of a design solution which keeps the Kyle-Inverness Rail line and the A835 open at all times.
The solution under consideration is to construct a beam along the edge of the road, supported by piles and anchored under the road. The parapet would sit at the edge of this.
A close to final version has received road safety and geotechnic approval and will be submitted to Network Rail soon for consideration.
