Road works update - 27 October 2021

We have a road works update for you for the remainder of this week, into next and beyond.

Works are progressing with the slab repairs in Kirkwall which will hopefully be completed within the next couple of weeks.

The long-awaited flagstone maintenance and replacement through the main streets of Stromness have now started in John Street, but the weather has taken a turn for the worse so may delay progress.

Surfacing works on Moss Road, Holm, should be completed by the end of this week, with our operational team then moving over to the Biggings Road, Toab, on 1 November 2021 all being well. This will mean a road closure will be in place, which will be signed and necessary diversions in place.

It is also planned that works will get under way on the B9047 (south of Pegal Bridge), Hoy on Monday 1 November 2021, which are expected to last around one week before moving down to Pier Road, Longhope on 8 November 2021.

We will keep you updated on here and via the local media as works progress or plans change due to the inclement weather.

Thank you all for your patience as we carry out these important works and please abide by all the speed limits and traffic controls in place - they are there to protect our staff and contractors and for everyone's safety.
