Essential Maintenance Work To Be Carried Out At Strathcarron Level Crossing

Construction News Image
Network Rail is to carry out essential maintenance at Strathcarron level crossing on the Kyle of Lochalsh line.

The A890 will close overnight as the level crossing safety inspection is scheduled from Saturday 29 into Sunday October 30.

To complete the required work, including a full corrosion inspection, in the safest and most efficient way, the A890 will be closed at the crossing from 10pm on Saturday evening until 7am on Sunday morning.

Every level crossing has a programme of inspection to ensure that it is safe and operating as designed. At Strathcarron the units which make up the ‘road surface’ of the crossing will be removed to thoroughly inspect the full length of both lines, checking the rails for signs of corrosion and silt build up and assessing the need for any future maintenance.

During the full road closure there will be no vehicular access over the crossing, except for emergency vehicles.

Conscious of the inconvenience the road closure will cause, Network Rail is working closely with Highland Council to highlight the situation to road users and will work to keep the duration of the closure to an absolute minimum.

Network Rail is also advising that properties closest to the crossing may also be inconvenienced by the overnight work and would like to thank them in advance for their patience.
