Highland Council announces a temporary closure of Union Street and Church Street in Inverness this weekend

There will be a temporary closure of two Inverness city centre streets to enable mobile crane lifting operations at the former Arnott's store construction site.

The traffic restrictions will be in place from 7am on Sunday to 10pm on Monday.

Union Street will be closed between its junction with Academy Street – forming part of the Millburn Road to Academy Street to Chapel Street road – and its junction with Drummond Street.

A Highland Council spokesman said: "Traffic will be prohibited from turning left into the U4380 Union Street from the B865 Millburn Road to Academy Street to Chapel Street.

"Vehicles will also be prohibited from turning right into the U4380 Union Street from the B865 Millburn Road to Academy Street to Chapel Street.

"At the same time the council is to carry out site investigation and repair works within the road carriageway in Church Street (next to Co-op)."

Church Street will be closed between its junction with Union Street and its junction with Queensgate.
