INVERARAY Bridge Repairs


 The project will involve dismantling and repairing three damaged sections of the seawall, with a focus on salvaging and reusing as much of the original material as possible. Key improvements will include installing guttering, repairing the concrete haunch, and extending this where necessary. These upgrades aim to strengthen the wall’s resilience, safeguarding the A83 from the damaging effects of wave action and harsh coastal conditions.
