A major campaign has been launched to win improvements on one of the most scenic but dangerous stretches of trunk road in the United Kingdom. The A82 Tarbet – Fort William - Inverness road is famous for passing the landmark destinations of Loch Lomond, Loch Rannoch, Glencoe, Ben Nevis and Loch Ness.

But it is also infamous for its disturbing number of fatalities, injuries and incidents.


The longer-term aim of the campaign is to achieve an upgrade of sections over the entire stretch from Tarbet to Inverness. However, the immediate target of the A82 Partnership is to win funds to improve the four most dangerous stretches of the road between Tarbet and Fort William that have already been identified by Transport Scotland at a total cost of £90M.

To support the campaign please visit the Scottish Parliament website at:  http://epetitions.scottish.parliament.uk/  Click on ‘Go to current e-petitions’ and you can then ‘sign’ the petition on line.

The closing date for signatures is 4th April.
