A further £1.5 million is to be invested in road resurfacing schemes across the Highlands, it has been announced.Transport Scotland has provided the extra funding to BEAR Scotland on top of previous projects that were already planned for 2018.The financial boost will allow a more permanent solution to temporary pothole repairs that have been carried out at locations where the defects have been deemed most urgent. A key focus for the repairs is the A82, A83 and the A85 which has seen deterioration of the road surface in a number of locations.The acceleration of works requires planning on matters such as designs, network availability, quarry location, timings and resource/programme conflicts. Any schemes which cannot be delivered this financial year will be delivered early in 2018/19.
