Answer
I can advise that the work associated with the significant embankment failure on the Glenshesk Road commenced Tuesday 18 March 2025.
It had been envisaged, that with favourable weather conditions, work would be completed by the end of the summer. Regrettably, due to difficult ground conditions and the quantum of illegal waste that must be removed from the site, progress on the scheme has been delayed. Therefore, the road will need to remain closed with temporary traffic management arrangements and diversions in place until November 2025.
My officials will continue to provide updates online as the scheme progresses.
