Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s Representative for the North West, said: “This surfacing project on the A85 near Almondbank will upgrade the existing road surface, greatly improving the quality and safety of this section of the route for road users.
“The traffic management proposed is essential to ensure the safety of our teams and motorists.
“However we have taken steps to minimise disruption by carrying out the work at night.
“We thank motorists for their patience in advance and would also encourage them to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up-to-date travel information.”
