Road to reopen later next week

A Moray road which closed earlier this week due to a landslip is likely to reopen later next week.

Repair work on the landslip on the Knockando-Dallas road will begin on Monday and is expected to take two to three days to complete.

A 20 metre stretch of the road on the Dallas side of the Aultnaguish Bridge was undermined following heavy rain.

A diversion via Archiestown, Rothes and Elgin will remain until the road reopens.

Moray Council area stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Forres in the west. The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 92,500 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.

Headquartered in  Elgin, the administrative capital of Moray.
