Surface Dressing Works in Lewis and Harris

Surface Dressing Works in Lewis and Harris

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar this week commenced a period of minor Surface Dressing Works near Stornoway with works planned in Tong, Parkend and Bennadrove. Works will then move to Barra from 19 May 2025 for a period of 4 weeks.

There will be Diversions, traffic convoy and Stop Go traffic control in operation for the period of the works, as required, which will lead to some delays. Furthermore there will be temporary signage and a 20 mph temporary speed limit in effect, through these works until sweeping and aftercare has been completed. Motorists are asked to allow additional time for travelling, obey the signage and take care whilst travelling through the works.

Residents in these areas are asked to consider Children and pets during the laying period and not to park any vehicles adjacent to the road. Pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists should take care whilst passing the laying equipment. Residents will also be required to move parked cars to enable laying works to be completed. All the works are dry weather dependant and may be postponed as necessary.
