'Vehicles will no longer be permitted to turn right from Castle Road to Bridge Street under the two-way operation' –Bridge Street, Castle Street and Castle Road in Inverness are reverting to two-way traffic after Spaces for People roadworks removed

SPACES for People roadworks in Inverness will be removed over the next few days.

Bridge Street, Castle Street and Castle Road are now reverting to two-way traffic as of the evening of Monday November 15.

A Highland Council spokeswoman said: "Motorists should be made aware that Bridge Street, Castle Street and Castle Road will revert to two-way traffic from the evening of Monday 15 November 2021.

"Vehicles will no longer be permitted to turn right from Castle Road to Bridge Street under the two-way operation.

"This move follows the decision taken at the last Inverness City Committee to remove the Spaces for People one-way around the castle.

"Following that decision Highland Council was required to arrange and schedule the alterations to the traffic signals.

"Officers highlighted then that the work could take some time."

She said: "Every effort has been expended to bring this forward and this work has allowed traffic to revert to two-way.

"Some restrictions will remain in place on Castle Street to allow the building construction work currently ongoing until Spring 2022."
