The culvert/bridge thing across the washed away bit is almost in place.
Looks as if the Easter opening may just be missed?...however it doesn't appear to be too far off.
I received a couple of images from Kingie today.

From what I'm hearing the road to Kinlochhourn opened tonight, great effort by all involved

It’s taken six months but the road to Kinlochhourn finally opens this evening yippeee! Here are some photos of the work nearing completion early this week and the massive scar on the hill! So pack your bags, put on your boots and come exploring, we are back!

Good to hear that ….possibly a temporary arrangement over the Easter holiday period perhaps? I guess that the folks repairing the road will too be on holiday?

Was down getting in Sgurr a' Mhaoraich this morning. The road is open and is actually in very good. About six foot of gravel either side of the bridge but my car (Astra) got over it fine.
