Temporary closure on Speyside Way
Temporary closure on Speyside Way
The Speyside Way between Aviemore and Boat of Garten is to be closed for a temporary period while essential repairs and improvements are carried out.
Funding for the much needed path improvement works has been secured from Scottish Natural Heritage to allow for the resurfacing of a 1km stretch (along with associated drainage works) on a section South West of Boat of Garten that has become increasingly water damaged in the last few years.
For safety and efficiency of works reasons the path will need to be closed to users on weekdays from Thursday 14 to Friday 29 March while the contractor carries out the work, with the path fully opening again in time for the Easter holidays.
The section affected by the closure is highlighted in red on the plan below.
