All guests should be aware these roadworks are causing quite a bit of disruption and delays getting through Broadford at the moment, especially as from 16th - 25th September Bear Scotland is also doing resurfacing work in Harrapool beside Broadford, with night closures 7pm - 5am on weekdays. This hopefully won't affect the junction with the A851 from the Kyle direction, to come down to Armadale and Ardvasar. Allow for additional time to get through Broadford itself.
Please note fuel and other supplies are available at our local shop Armadale Stores.

⛔ Roadworks - , Isle of Skye ⛔
🚧 A87 - between Dunollie Hotel & Broadford Co-op
📅 14 September 2026 for 5 weeks.

Highland Council has permission from Transport Scotland and BEAR to install Traffic Management measures on the main A87 in Broadford, between the Dunollie Hotel and the Broadford Co-op to allow for excavations in relation to the installation of a High Voltage cable by SSE Networks to serve the new primary school, currently in construction.

The road will be down to one lane and subject to traffic signals – these will be fully managed by Alba Traffic Management.

Works are due to start on 14th September 2026 for a period of 5 weeks.

We are aware that there are other road improvement works being carried out on the A87 for SSEN and appreciate these will cause disruption for local users, business and visitors during this period of essential works.

Guests please be advised our road through Ardvasar will be closed during the day (9am - 4:30pm) on Wednesday 14th May, Thursday 15th and possibly Friday 16th for resurfacing works. Thank you for your patience and understanding. The road really needs doing!

An update from the Breedon Group Project Manager on the Ardvasar works planned to begin on Wednesday 14th May.

'Following a site visit on Tuesday we initially didn’t fully appreciate the scale of Street Furniture (Ironworks) within this section however have made some appropriate arrangements to speed up the process with additional Planer machines x 2 to help speed up our time on site.

The Duration our works will take us approximately 3 days to complete starting on Wednesday 14th May.

Wednesday – Profile Plane Existing Surface & around Ironwork with maybe some surface course.

Thursday & Friday – Surface Course

Our overall tonnage for this scheme is only around 230 Tonnes and in theory we will aim to complete all of this on the one day (Thursday) depending on how the amnesties work and residents help us achieve this.

Given School Runs and people need to get to work ect… our closure times will be at 9am Start – 4.30pm Finish. We may be on site before and after these times preparing and or rolling off however the road will be open.

We will always prioritise School buses and Emergency Vehicles through the works however starting that bit later hopefully means we only need to assist the School bus on return at the end of the school day including parents.

Alba Traffic Management will manage the Road Closure with 1 man at either end of the works & 1 in the middle to assist with Pedestrian Management.

Advance warning signs are currently being made in at Inverness and will be in place as of Monday 12th May in the morning stating – This Road will be Closed on Wed, Thurs & Friday between the hrs of 9am – 4.30pm, 2hr amnesties in place – stating the timings. ( I can send over the actual details once the signs are made today later on).

Ideally the best way to work amnesties here would be every 2hrs however as discussed with Alba and what will be discussed with my team will be whenever possible to open up to traffic, we will be sensible about it if someone says they are desperate to get through we will do our utmost to get them through the works, tourists will likely be told no & only at the amnesty times.

Appreciate 2hrs may seem a long time but this could be the make or break in completing the majority of the surfacing on the 1 day (End of play Thursday).

I will likely be onsite myself on Wednesday & Thursday next week to make sure the public are well informed and to assist the guys at the closure points.'

A future post will contain information about restricted access to Tormore Community Forest for a short time in the middle of next week to allow for temporary storage of materials. Recreational users are urged to avoid Tormore when further information is known.

Thank you.
