Holm Road (A961), Kirkwall
To enable maintenance works to be carried out to the Mash House at the Highland Park Distillery there will be multiple short duration road closures until early November 2024. The current plan is that the closures will be up to a maximum duration of 20 minutes with the closures being carried out at times to try and avoid ferry traffic, commuter traffic and bus services.
A960, St Andrews & Toab
Scottish Water works are ongoing with the possibility that there may be the need to use temporary traffic lights on the A960 between the Groatsetter Road and the Stembister Road during the next few weeks as work progresses. This will have an effect on the No3 bus service (Deerness – Tankerness) and general traffic in the area of the works.
There will also be work taking place on the Groatsetter Road which is likely to cause some delays to traffic over the next couple of weeks.
