After many years of discussion, it looks as though work is going to start on the road improvements on the Scalpay Road. The road is being widened to dual-track, and the bridge is being replaced at Laxdale Lochs. The new bridge will be slightly south of the existing river crossing.
Work is also due to start soon on the installation of a new water main between Urgha and Maaraig. This will run up the Eastern side of the Laxdale lochs.
With two major construction projects taking place in the same area, be prepared for some disruption during the “busy” season.
