Clear-up continues after Storm Chandra as 35 trees block off A82 in the Highlands

Clear-up operations are continuing across the Highlands after Storm Chandra brought down dozens of trees.

The A82 remains restricted north of Spean Bridge following the storm, which brought down around 35 large trees.

One lane is currently open, with contra-flow traffic lights in place to manage traffic.

BEAR Scotland said its teams worked through the night when conditions allowed to reopen one lane, with further clearance ongoing.

A lorry also overturned near Loch Tulla during high winds, though no injuries were reported.

Three weather warnings came into force across the Western Isles, the Borders, the Lothians, Strathclyde, Grampian, Fife, Tayside and the Highlands on Tuesday.

Inspector Katy Duncan thanked BEAR Scotland for their efforts, saying: “We’d like to thank our partners at BEAR Scotland for their continued support in clearing this route.”

Drivers are being urged to allow extra time for journeys and to follow local travel advice while clean-up work continues.
