Part of the west side route around Barra will be closed to traffic for five days later this month.

 

The main road - which takes in the island's scenic beaches and machair land -will be out of action at Allasdale from 17 to 21 October during the school holidays.

 

The 375 metre stretch of main road between the two village junctions will be affected while a crumbling bridged section is replaced.

 

The closure means traffic between Castlebay and the north of the island, including the airport and ferry, will be restricted to the east coast route.

 

If required, access for emergency vehicles will be provided by the contractor.
