Kyle to Lochcarron road still closed

A further rockfall means that the A890 between Lochcarron and Kyle will remain closed indefinitely.

More than 100 tonnes of rock came loose from the hillside above the road and blocked the road near the tunnel opposite Lochcarron on 22 December. Repairs had meant that the road was about to open when a further rockfall on 30 December blocked the raod again. Highland Council now say the road will be shut indefinitely while work is undertaken and that drivers should check Traffic Scotland for updates.

This section of road has suffered from numerous landslips and major work to stablise the rockface was carried out a few year ago. The nearby railway line is unaffected.
