BEAR Scotland has works provisionally programmed to start on Monday 16 of September until Wednesday 6 of November (excluding weekends). These closures will be in place between the hours of 19:30 and 06:00. The works will entail grass cutting, drainage cleaning, sign cleaning, detailed inspections and also road sweeping and will utilise a rolling programme until the morning of Wednesday the 6 of November.
Local diversions will be in place for the majority of the closures to ensure that the multiple teams can undertake these works safely. Where possible works will be carried out near to housing estates early each night to minimise the disruption in the more heavily populated areas but due to the nature of the activities and locations this may not always be possible.
