WILLS Bros Civil Engineering is set to commence work on the next phase of the Riverside Way project in Inverness.

The project will improve active travel provision along Ness Walk and Bught Road for those walking, wheeling, and cycling along the Riverside Way corridor.

Aecom worked alongside the Highland Council to create the technical designs for the work, with Wills Bros set to start on site on October 30 with works expected to take place over a period of five months.

Leader of Inverness and area, Ian Broad, said, “It was good to be able to show our guests what has been achieved so far and what the next phase of works will involve. I am looking forward to work starting next week as it represents a significant improvement to the active travel environment along one of our city’s popular and most iconic routes, which is frequented by thousands of local people and visitors alike throughout the year.”
