A890

Off-line widening of single-track road through Balnacra and Achnashellach to a 6m-wide two-lane carriageway.

Three possible routes were considered: the Red route stays to the north of the railway, and the Green and Blue routes both involve new crossings at the eastern end.

The final preferred route is based on the Red proposal.

Widening the existing single-track A890 between Strathcarron and Balnacra to provide two traffic lanes. The scheme is also likely to involve realignment of the road away from the sharp bend at Coulags Bridge.

This work will connect with the A890 Balnacra to Lair Improvement.
