Customer Information - Closure of Port Ellen Pier, Islay: Please note that due to major reconstruction works, Port Ellen Pier, Islay, is currently closed to ferry traffic.
All sailings on the Islay service are therefore operating to and from Port Askaig. This is outwith our control and we regret any inconvenience caused.
A revised Summer timetable which reflects this will operate until June 30, 2012. Should the situation change and the pier becomes available before then, we will revert to the original published Summer timetable as soon as practicable.
Caledonian MacBrayne and Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd apologise for any inconvenience caused.
***A83 Trunk Road Resurfacing Schemes - A83
North of Stonefield Castle and A83 Stonefield Castle Resurfacing works: Sunday 6th of May 2012 - Friday 1st June 2012 - The resurfacing works for both schemes are proposed to take place between 21:00 hours and 06:00 hours, Sunday night to Friday morning, under a full road closure. During these times, it is proposed to escort vehicles through the works when it is safe and practical to do so. Scotland TranServ will endeavour to ensure this will occur approximately every 2 hours during the closure.
The verge drainage works, for both schemes, will be carried out Monday to Friday (08:00 to 18:00 hours), under single lane closures or convoy working where necessary.
Over each weekend, between 18:00 hours on Friday and 21:00 hours on Sunday, there will be no restrictions to normal traffic movements. Live updates detailing the progress of the works will be posted on twitter. (www.twitter.com/ scot_ transerv)
Local access will be maintained as far as possible and emergency services will have unrestricted access at all times.
Motorists should allow extra time for their journeys and pay attention to any advisory signs which will be in place throughout the works. For real time journey planning information visit www.trafficscotland.org
