The Western Isles HVDC Link Project Team have announced that the culvert works in the Dundonnell area have been rescheduled.
These are now planned to take place between 24th August to 4th October 2026 when full road closures will be in place each night between 9pm and 7am.
A signed diversion route will be in place via Achnasheen and Garve during the night-time closures.
Outside these hours, traffic management will revert to single-lane operation.
Emergency access will be maintained at all times during the works.
Further detail of the works, what road users can expect and emergency arrangements is available on the project web page.

The RNLI is urging boat owners with Personal Locator Beacons to handle them carefully to
prevent accidental activation.
This follows an incident in which Invergordon RNLI responded to an accidental distress signal in the
Moray Firth.
During the search, HM Coastguard confirmed that the beacon had been activated in error and that no emergency assistance was needed.
The RNLI also advises anyone carrying emergency beacons to keep their registration details up to date and to contact HM Coastguard immediately if a beacon is activated accidentally.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is launching a new project exploring the places that have shaped the development of modern football in Scotland.
Members of the public across the country are invited to suggest sites connected to the history of football in Scotland for further investigation and recording.
These could include grounds, pavilions, parks, buildings or other locations with a strong connection to the history of the game in Scotland.
The information will be used to help HES identify sites for further research and possible recognition as Protected Historic Places, such as listed buildings.
Further details are available on the HES website.
