The Highland Council have announced that there will be a temporary road closure of the Bealach Na Ba Road tomorrow, Saturday 17th May.
The closure will be operational from 10am until 12.30 pm, along the full length of the road, to facilitate the Bealach Na Ba cycle event.
To avoid the closure motorists are advised to use the C1091 Applecross to Shieldaig coastal route.
ScotRail is advising passengers across the region that new timetables for all routes come into force on Sunday 18th May.

…and in the football ….
The matches for the teams in the bottom half of the Premiership take place on Sunday afternoon when Ross County plays its last fixture of the season at home against Motherwell.
A win for County, coupled with a defeat for Dundee in its match against already-relegated St Johnstone, would see it remain in the Premiership next season.
Any other realistic combination of results will consign County to a play-off tie over two legs against either Livingston or Partick Thistle.
