This is notification from BEAR Scotland of our intention to close the A84 Bridge of Teith at Doune, overnight on the weekend of the 8th / 9th / 10th July between 10pm and 6am.
The Bridge of Teith is the oldest structure on the NW network and these repairs are essential to sustain the long-term utilisation of this crossing.
The closure is required to enable the placement of rock-bags around the central pier of the bridge to repair damage caused by scour. This will be performed by a crane, lowering the rock-bags from the bridge deck into the watercourse.
We are programming this over 3 consecutive nights, to minimise disruption. We will allow for amnesties every 2 hours, for vehicles to pass, as required. The crane is mobile and can be moved to allow emergency vehicles access to cross.
The closure forms part of a longer 3-month program of works, starting 23rd May, which will include traffic management over the bridge, to repair a training wall and provide drainage.
This traffic management will consist of 3-way lights but should not affect traffic over the bridge.
