Resurfacing work is needed due to the deteriorating condition of city centre roads

Overnight road closures are due to affect one of the busiest parts of Inverness while resurfacing work is carried out.

Highland Council is planning maintenance work on Bridge Street and Castle Road over three nights starting on Monday 29 September.

Work on Castle Street would then begin on Thursday 2 October and after a break for the weekend would restart on Sunday 5 October for four nights.

Road closures would be in place between 20:00 and 06:00.

Highland Council said the work was being carried out overnight when traffic volumes were lighter to try to minimise any disruption.

The local authority has apologised for any inconvenience.
