Surfacing of roads to begin

Chloe Irvine May 15, 2023 0

Shetland Islands Council has announced its summer programme of road surfacing will begin soon.

Over 80 locations have been identified across Shetland for surface dressing, to improve the road surface and protect the road from winter frost damage.

Neil Hutcheson, executive manager of planning, warned “some delays” will occur in the areas where the works are being done, and he urged drivers to “keep their speed down” where stone chips have been laid.

Among the locations with longer sections of road identified are:

A968 Collafirth, Delting
B9076 near Firth
Ollaberry to Leon
Snarraness, near West Burrafirth
Papa Stour
Laxfirth Road
Bridgend to Papil, Burra
Gloup, Yell
Hannigarth, Unst
Treawick, Whalsay
